Born 1912 in Gentilly, outskirt of Paris. After experiencing lithography, DOISNEAU turned his career to photography in 1931. He worked for Renault from 1934 as an advertising/ industrial photographer. In 1939 he established his own studio, but soon he was called for WWII. After the fall of Paris, DOISNEAU joined the resistance activity. After the war, he joined Rapho in 1946 and gained reputation in the field of photo journalism as a free photographer. He also worked for a fashion magazine "Vogue" between 1948 to 1952. Taking pictures of the lives of ordinary people in Paris with an esprit, he is a perennial favorite as the most French photographer. Received the Kodak Award in 1947 and the Niepes Award in 1956. Retropective exhiitions are hosted in major museums across the globe such as the Art Institute of Chicago (1960), the French National Library (1968), and the George Eastman House (1972).
