After having undertaken the study of lithography and having carried out tasks in the sculpture workshop of a famous artist of the time, Doisneau began working as a industrial photographer for large car manufacturing companies. Soon his true nature came to light: he participated in the Resistance, collaborated with anti-regime magazines and finally created an independent job for himself, as an independent photographer for the Rapho agency, where he worked for the rest of his career. The fundamental imprint of his art was street photography, the primary intention being to tell the story of the passion, commitment and interaction of a microworld that is actually as large as the suburbs. Lover of love, the greatest illusion he created throughout his life was his own The kiss: a shot that seems stolen but was prepared by asking two passers-by, two young engaged men, to simply pose. He died in 1994 in Montrouge, a suburb south of Paris, often the scene of scenes that inspired his shots. {:} {: En}
