sculptors who could use the photographic prints as reference tools for

The dark
corners of Atget images was due to the fact that he tilted
the camera up
- over the camera lens which caused the round dark arch in
most of his photos
The main
topics of Eugene Atget's photography were the streets of
Paris and its display windows of fine stores, hotels and
architecture. Images, though produced with a single
exposure and negative. Usually devoid of people because of
the long expose the subject needed to keep very still for
several minutes
