Presentation by Edgar Hu

Brassaï Brassaï was a renowned photographer for taking dramatic pictures of Paris and his selective use of light and dark to complement the night scene. I will focus on covering mostly his photos he took of Paris in Paris After Dark

Before he was known as Brassaï, he was known as Gyula Halász journalist and was an accomplished sculptor, poet, and a painter. He became associated with famous people like Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, and writer Henry Miller.

Paris night scene fascinated Brassaï and his acquaintance Andre Kertesz inspired him to take photography, a field he despised earlier. He took black & white photographs that had “juxtaposed luminous, dreamlike nightscapes” that was a technical achievement at the time.
