Paul Nadar

Nadar was born in 1856 and was a French Photographer, caricaturist, a writer and a balloonist. He was also the son of Felix Nadar. By 1853 he had become an expert photographer and oped up his own portrait studio. His portraits were neutral, unlike most photographers who's protraits were stiff. In 1855, he came up with the idea of using aerial photography from a balloon, with the balloon being named Le Geant. In 1874 he worked for his father in his fathers studio in Paris. In 1885 he collaborated with his father to make the first photo interview of a 101 year old chemist and colot theorist Michel- Eugene Chevreul. In 1893 he became Eastman Kodak's rpresentative in France. Nadar later died in 1939.
