Description
Félix Nadar's memoir, When I Was a Photographer, is a witty and intelligent account of his experiences in the early days of photography. Composed as a series of vignettes, this book offers stories of Nadar's adventures, memorable character sketches, and meditations on history. From experimenting with artificial lighting in Paris' sewers to taking aerial photographs from a hot air balloon, Nadar recounts his technical innovations and encounters with notable figures in the field. He also shares humorous anecdotes about the impact of photography on society, including its effects on famous individuals and events. This first complete English translation of Nadar's memoir provides a unique glimpse into the life of a pioneering photographer and writer.
