Product Description
Book Description
Robert Doisneau, arguably one of the world's best-loved photographers, has created some of the most memorable and affecting images the world has ever seen. Who hasn't been moved by the simple beauty of "The Kiss, " or amused by Picasso playfully exhibiting his croissant fingers at the breakfast table? Doisneau's unique ability to capture life's most delicate and pure emotions renders his photographs universal and timeless. This classic volume features the best-known Doisneau's works from the forties and fifties, selected by the photographer himself. Accompanying those works is a revealign and beautifully written autobiographical essay that explores Doisneau's evolutions as an artist -- from his beginnings as an etcher, through the many phases of his career in advertising, industrial design, and the fashion world. Most importantly, Doisneau offers a moving explanation of his commitment to profiling the common man.

This is what storytelling photography is about!,
By
This review is from: Robert Doisneau: Three Seconds of Eternity (Paperback)
Robert Doisneau is one of my favorite storytelling black and white photographers. He wanders around Paris snapping shots of everyday people doing everyday things and his attempts to capture humanity and eternity in one photo are amazing. Before this book, I didn't know his writing could capture humanity as well as his camera!

Amazing photos!,
By
This review is from: Robert Doisneau: Three Seconds of Eternity (Paperback)
Robert Doisneau is and will be one of my favorite storytelling black and white photographers. His photos always seem to evoke feelings and emotions that are hard to do from a two dimensional static image but it does. His attempts at capturing the human spirit and humanity itself through his camera lens is remarkable and this book has an excellent collection in itself. What most people don't know is that he can write as well as he takes photographs.

Capturing Eternity,
By Nicholas Standlea (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robert Doisneau: Three Seconds of Eternity (Paperback)
Doisneau spent his entire life attempting to capture eternity in a single image. He paid little heed to verbalized communication and yet his writing style vibrates with the same laughter, empathy, and wonder that his photographs do.
