Doisneau is another very iconic French photojournalist and documentary photographer. He got into photography at a very young ago of 13 and has taken some of the most viewed images today.
this is one his most recognisable images which he has taken. Unlike many of the other images which I have spoken about this one has a very positive image of a sailor who is kissing his girlfriend/wife. The image almost appears set up due to the angle and framing which he has the subjects in. The use of black and white film adds to the style of the image with the outfits and look of the city at that time
Similar to Bressons work, and particular to the time that the images were shot at, they are all shot on black and white film. I think that this adds more story to the images as you now that they are older and have more value as they are telling a apart of history.
This image is one of my favourite out of Dosineau's work as it makes me wonder if the image is actually set up or just a snap shot of a man on the street as he is holding the umbrella over his instrument rather than himself.
