Historical Photographer
Auguste - Rosalie Bisson
Born 1826 in Paris France
Died 1900 Paris France
Came from a family of photographers
- father and brother
Took many expeditions to photograph various places
First to take pictures from the summit of Mont Blanc
Known for landscape photography
I originally picked this photo because they looked to me like toy soldiers. On closer speculation they were people in dark shadows. But I thought the play of light and zoom was interesting in this photo. The people almost disappear in the crevices of the rock, which give us an idea of how big the mountains are.
