Summary

This week is another adventurous episode, recorded from above the streets, sitting on a Paris rooftop. I'm joined by 27-year-old Frenchman Raphael Metivet, a photographer capturing Paris from a new perspective.

We discussed our 360 degree view, urban exploration across Paris, and Raphael explains some tips and tricks around how he gets his winning shots.
