So this week I’ve been looking at a Hungarian photographer by the name of Brassaï. He was based in Paris throughout most of his photographic career and was quite literally a master of the night. He’s definitely one of my biggest influences when it comes to photography, but particularly night photography and black and white photography. He has a unique way of depicting these dark, damp Parisian nights, in an almost macabre way.
His Secret Paris work is probably my favourite, as it captures the intimacies of some of Paris’s bubbling underworld of brothels. He had a way of encapsulating the dark night and the time period in an incredible fashion, many of his shots are incredibly cinematic, now, here are a few of my favourites:
