One of
the most prolific and creative reporting photographers of
France in the past hundred years was Robert Doisneau.
Born in 1912, he rose to prominence in the 1940's and
1950's. The 2011 Robert Doisneau calendar displays a
dozen black and white shots from his hand. His most
recognizable photo was of a couple kissing on a busy Paris
street. The identity of the couple was unknown until
Doisneau was forced to reveal that he had hired actors to
pose for the picture. Le baiser de l'hotel de ville
can be seen in this Robert Doisneau 2011 calendar.
Doisneau passed away on April 1st, 1994 in Paris, France,
where much of his work was done. |
