Rob van der Pijll Profile picture La Défense (pronounced [la de.f??s]) is a major business district of the Paris Metropolitan Area and of the Île-de-France region, located in the commune of Courbevoie, and parts of Puteaux and Nanterre, just west of the city of Paris.

La Défense is Europe's largest purpose-built business district[1] with 560 hectares (5.6 million square metres) area, 72 glass and steel buildings and skyscrapers, 180,000 daily workers, and 3.5 million square metres (37.7 million sq ft) of office space.[2] Around its Grande Arche and esplanade ("le Parvis"), La Défense contains many of the Paris urban area's tallest high-rises, and is home to no fewer than 1,500 corporate head offices, including those of 15 of the top 50 companies in the world.

The district is located at the westernmost extremity of the ten-kilometre-long Historical Axis of Paris, which starts at the Louvre in Central Paris, and continues along the Champs-Élysées, well beyond the Arc de Triomphe along the Avenue de la Grande Armée before culminating at La Défense. The district is centred in an orbital motorway straddling the Hauts-de-Seine département municipalities of Courbevoie, Nanterre and Puteaux. La Défense is primarily a business district, and hosts only a population of 25,000 permanent residents and 45,000 students. La Défense is also visited by 8,000,000 tourists each year, and houses an open-air museum.

I am an enthusiastic and passionate leisure photographer. In my portfolio you will encounter a variety of photographic images. I started more or less with abstract, colorful and square images. Gradually my photographic horizon has broadened with landscape photography, images of our travels (Morocco for example).

I started to focus more on black and white photography.
What I also really like to do is compose images in collages. And that specifically in a 3x3 frame. Sometimes it produces a kaleidoscopic image and often also a collection that you keep looking at for a while longer.

I try to capture the ordinary in an unusual (= own) way.
It is up to you to judge whether I succeed.
My reward is in your attention and, if you like it, the purchase of one or more photos.

Are all my photos here on this site? No, I also publish my photos on my own website (robvanderpijll.weebly.com); on Instagram (@ rvdp62) and on Facebook.
Do you see something that can not be found here .... a message and I put it here on this site.

I hope you enjoy what I show you here.

Kind regards,

Rob van der Pijll
