"Créatures de Rêve"

gelatin silver print

Doisneau first worked for the advertising photographer André Vigneau, in whose studio he met artists and writers with avant-garde ideas, and then during the Depression years of the 1930s he worked as an industrial photographer for the Renault car company. During the same period, Doisneau also photographed in the streets and neighborhoods of Paris, hoping to sell work to the picture magazines, which were expanding their use of photographs as illustration.
