Manuel Alvarez Bravo received his first photographic camera in 1923, and began his essays on aesthetics and the technical work of photography, but did not begin professional photography until 1925

Bravo was never formally a member of the surrealist movement, his work displays many characteristics of surrealism, and he was exposed to many of its founders. His work often suggests dreams or fantasies, and he frequently photographed inanimate objects in ways that gave them humanistic qualities
