People, landscapes, architecture - each image tells a story. There is a romanticism that surrounds France's capital - that cannot be denied. And this is also and anchored in the collective consciousness and photography of the French. It is not for nothing that Paris is often called the capital of photography. The development of the city and its media is closely linked. During industrialization, the French metropolis grew strongly. And with it, so did its imagery. This included the technical mass media such as print photography and photography.
The world's first known photograph originated in France, as did the invention of photography. Joseph Nicéphore Niépce photographed the view from his window in La Gras in the early 19th century. Another French compatriot named Daguerre then made photography popular and practical. The French government bought his process, which succeeded in permanently fixing camera obscura images. The Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Arts presented it in Paris in August 1839 and then made it a gift to the world.
This was the significant cornerstone of a long and still ongoing history of French photographic art. The visual and new type of art soon made its mark on public spaces in France and around the world. Important names from this period are, for example, the artists Henri Cartier-Bresson or Robert Doisneau. French photographers in general played a central role in the further have an incredibly important role in the development of this medium. They used it as an art form and as a means of documenting the history and society of France. Black and white images, dynamic, contemporary works, but also innovative shots and experiments represent the French photographic art. Important names in this context include: Brassaï, Félix Nadar, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Willy Ronis, Eugène Atget, and many more. At first, however, photography was often a documentary medium. Paintings and prints were replaced by photographs, which now visually represented the world. There was debate in the 19th century as to what purpose photographs should actually be used for. Science or art. Or both. In the 20th century, photographs became more and more a symbol of nostalgia for the French. This was also strongly influenced by the First and Second World Wars, which had destroyed the order of mankind. Photos were now the only way to see the world again as it was before. This becomes clear when you see the expressive images of French artists of the time.
