Nadar, real name Gaspard-Félix Tournachon, was a 19th century French photographer, writer and caricaturist. He was born on April 6, 1820 in Paris and died on March 21, 1910 in the same city.
Nadar started out as a famous caricaturist, publishing his cartoons in renowned newspapers and magazines of the time. As an artist, he rubbed shoulders with many intellectuals and personalities of his time, including Charles Baudelaire and Honoré de Balzac.
However, it was in the field of photography that Nadar left a lasting mark. In 1854, he opened the first photography studio in Paris, becoming one of the pioneers of professional photography. He was known for his portraits of prominent figures in French society, capturing their essence with a characteristic style.
Nadar was also a technical innovator in the field of photography. He experimented with tethered balloons for aerial photography, which was a bold undertaking at the time. In 1863, he founded the first photographic agency in the world, which offered photographs for sale.
In addition to his work in photography, Nadar was an avid aeronaut. He made several balloon ascents, including a famous expedition with the writer Jules Verne. His interest in aviation and aerial photography led him to be nicknamed "the prince of aeronauts".
Throughout his life, Nadar wrote articles and memoirs on photography and other subjects. He was also an active defender of artists' copyrights and played an important role in the recognition of photography as an art in its own right.
Nadar's contribution to 19th century photography and visual culture is invaluable, and his legacy continues to influence artists and photographers to this day.
