Robert Doisneau (1912 - 1994) French photographer noted for his  humorous depictions of Paris street life. Paris was one of the favorite photographic subjects. Robert Doisneau was one of France's most popular and prolific reportage photographers. He was known for his playful and ironic images of amusing juxtapositions with social class and eccentrics in Parisian streets and cafes. Influenced by the work  of Kertész, Atget and Cartier-Bresson

Among his most famous image is "Kiss by the Hôtel de Ville" a photo of a couple kissing in the streets of Paris. The identity of the couple was a mystery until 1993, when Denise & Jean-Louis Lavergne took Doisneau to court for taking the photo without their knowledge
