UPR Paris 2019 · race photograph

Jurgen Onland

UPR's inaugural Paris edition. Six themes across the 14th and 11th arrondissements, closing with an exhibition night at the Mairie du 14e.

The first Urban Photo Race Paris. The route started in the 14th arrondissement and concluded in the 11th, reflecting diverse Parisian aspects through participant photography across six themes. Winners and a selection of all participant photos were shown at an opening night at the Mairie du 14e.

First edition of the Urban Photo Race PARIS: Congratulations to all, you did it! Sore feet but radiant faces, kilometres traveled but also kilometres of "film" in the backpack. This first edition went really well and even the weather was at its best, mild, with a lot of sun, some clouds and beautiful lights.
