Assignment 3 Artist Photographer Bio

Kiss by the Hotel de Ville
Robert Doisneau

I liked this photographer because all his photos are such simple portayals of everyday life, and yet each one is so interesting and beautiful.,
Robert Doisneau is a French photographer, well known for his street photography and modest, playful, and ironic images of amusing juxtapositions, mingling social classes, and eccentrics in contemporary Paris streets and cafes.

Photographer/ favorite picture

photograph by Lukasz Taborski http://www.photo-earth.deviantart.com/
I like this particular photographer because his photos are inspiring. They have depth and your eye moves through them very easily, each photo is a perfect composition. His colour photos are often warm and have a comforting feeling to them, while his black and white photos have dramatic lighting and contrast. A good portion of his work is rural landscapes and countrysides but he has some shots of streets and other urban areas that are really captivating.
