Camille Silvy

This was a really interesting exhibition. I hadn't thought of street photography as being something dating back to the 19th century. He also did portrait photography, but I thought the images of the streets were much more compelling. He also did a lot of manipulation of the images, e.g. using several different negatives to form one image -- sort of like PhotoShop layers, 100 years before PS. www.npg.org.uk/whatson/exhibitions/2010/camille-silvy1/ex...
