Edouard Boubat

Its always good to mix up the types of photographers I look at. Edouard Boubat is a French photographer who was born in 1923 in Paris. He trained in typography and graphic art, yet it is his desire to capture the beauty of people that I love. Having been involved in WW1 he wanted to show beauty rather than horror and this image capture an elegance that his so feminine that anything to do with horror is utterly removed.



I love how the reflections have been captured and the sense of mystery that the woman creates. What is she looking at, what is she thinking?

I have taken many photos using reflections but I have always been disappointed. This one gives me hope again.
