I have made many attempts to photograph the Arts et Métiers metro station and have finally succeeded in capturing the dark copper walls and the dark underwater like atmosphere. I love the porthole windows with the various sculptures.The station has always been a favorite of mine and it was newly designed in 1994 by Belgian comics artist Francois Schuiten inspired by the works of Jules Verne.
