Robert Doisneau

"The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street."- Doisneau

Le baiser de l’hotel de ville.

Robert Doisneau was a French photographer. He passed away in 1997. Hes one of Frances most well known and recognizable photographers. Hes known for his playful, light-hearted style. What I enjoy most about Doisneau's work is that he rarely takes serious pictures. Most of his work is taken on the streets of Paris of everyday people. Kids playing with mothers watching close by. He captures the world in action. There is no deeper meaning behind the frame. I believe sometimes people get carried away. Everything always has to have a purpose. It cant just bring someone joy and i feel that he does that, without asking for anything more. He's just celebrating life.
