Robert Doisneau was a French photographer. In the 1930s he used a Leica on the streets of Paris. He and Henri Cartier-Bresson were pioneers of photojournalism. He is renowned for his 1950 image Le baiser de l'hôtel de ville (Kiss by the Town Hall), a photograph of a couple kissing in the busy streets of Paris. Robert Doisneau was appointed a Chevalier (Knight) of the Legion of Honour in 1984.
He worked at Renault before photographer career, but he soon got fired because of constant lateness. He first started his career as a postcard photographer, and he got fame because of his Le Baiser de L’hotel de Ville. He mostly took snapshots of paris living people. He was very skillful to take a picture of a moment. I really like his fun pictures.
