Charles Nègre
Charles Nègre (1820–1880) was a pioneering photographer born in Grasse, France. He studied under the painter Paul Delaroche before establishing his own studio on Quai Bourbon, Paris. His "Chimney-Sweeps Walking", an albumen print taken on that street in 1851, may have been a study for a painting, but is nevertheless considered important to photographic history for its being an early instance of an interest in capturing movement and freezing it forever in one moment.[1] The interesting shapes in his 1852 photograph of buildings in Grasse have caused it to be seen as a precursor to art photography.[2] In 1861, Nègre moved to Nice, where he made views and portraits for holiday makers. He died in Grasse in 1880.[1]
