Robert Doisneau

Robert Doisneau was born on April 14, 1912 in Gentilly, France in the suburbs of Paris. He is famous for his humanity photography and street photography, by wandering through the streets of Paris shooting at a very young age. At the age of 13 he became very interested in art and began taking courses at a craft school where he came in contact with various different types of arts. His focus was in life-drawing and still-life, particularly he photographed intimate "kissing" pictures, eventually he professionally started photographing in 1934, 5 years afterwards he then gain a lot more interest in photography. In 1939, after working for a photographer, he decided to work independently specifically working on photojournalism. After serving his time in the French army, he then started working with Vogue for 3 years then decided to focus on freelance photography. Doisneau photography has left an imprint on his fans, he liked to practice his skills in photography with great intuition rather than with the idea of science involved with it.
 Above is one of the photographs which Doisneau is known for "kissin" pictures of couples, He captures individuals as he passes by, more like he captures his photos at the right moment.
 In this photograph the woman shows lack of interest of the man, but the wine in the glasses indicates the scenario of her refusing to acknowledge the man appearance. Her facial expression says her everything.

there's a rule of third and leading lines indicated in this photograph and the scattered children crossing from one end to another.
