On the day he took this image, French photographer Michel Kharoubi was on his way to visit his father in a medical retirement home. This was shot in Les Olympiades, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, but Kharoubi notes that the specific location is not important to him.
“I don’t practise realistic or documentary street photography, but try to capture iconic urban images,” he says. “I positioned myself against a wall and waited for the right characters to pass by.”
