The 19th Century
Nadar was the most famous photographer in 19th century Paris: he was particularly known for his portraits, in which he knew how to bring out the personality of the subject, a skill he had honed during his career as a caricaturist. He himself said: “Photography is a wonderful discovery, a science that occupies the highest intelligences, whose application is within the reach of the lowest imbecile, but there is something in it that cannot be learned: it is the feeling of light, and what is even less learned is the moral understanding of the subject, it is the psychological side of photography”.
