BASH: rename multiple Rename files using mv and a WHILE loop instead of a FOR loop

Consider we have many photos with names like DSC_20170506_170809.JPEG. To rename the photos so that they follow the pattern Paris_20170506_170809.JPEG, I've wrote the following script that works perfect.

for file in *.JPEG; do mv ${file} ${file/DSC/Paris}; done

My question is , how we can write this script using a whilewhile loop instead of a forfor loop?
