April 14, 1912 - April 1, 1994
French photographer noted for photographing the "marvels of daily life" in Paris, photojournalism
Le baiser de l'hôtel de ville
Cafe noir et blanc
Musician in the rain
For his photograph Le baiser de l'hôtel de ville, he had a couple repeat their initial kiss - the kiss was posed. He had to reveal this when sued by a couple believing the photograph to be of themselves
In 1984, he was appointed a Chevalier of the Order of the Légion d'honneur
Rating: *****
I really like his style of photography. He really captures life in Paris and it has such a romantic yet realistic feel.
