stunsworth Posted September 16, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) Willy Ronis, Eduard Boubat & Robert Doisneau Certainly they're three of my favourites. I love the French humanist style. People focus too much on Doisneau's 'Kiss', he's got a huge body of excellent photography behind him. Boubat I came across by accident while speaking to another French photographer whose name I forget, Also add Don McCullin, HCB, Salgado, Edited September 16, 2009 by stunsworth 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
