Robert Doisneau ( 14 April 1912 – 1 April 1994 ) was a French photographer . In the 1930s he used a form of camera called a Leica on the streets of Paris . He and Henri Cartier-Bresson were pioneers of photojournalism.

As a young man Doisneau attended the Ecole Estienne in Paris to learn the crafts involved in the book trade, but he always claimed that the streets of the working-class neighbourhood of Gentilly provided his most important schooling. In 1929 , in an effort to improve his draftsmanship, he began photographing, just as Modernist ideas were beginning to promote photography as the prime medium for advertising and reportage.
