Biography:
Son of photographer Felix Nadar, Paul Nadar became the manager of his father’s studio in Paris in 1874. Despite their troubled relationship, the two collaborated in 1886 on what is thought to be the first photo-interview on the chemist and color theorist Michel-Eugene Chevreul. Nadar began photographing from a hot-air balloon and showedhis work at the Societe Francaise de la Photographie. He also experimented with artificial lightings and patented a projection system for animating still pictures. In 1893, Nadar became Kodak’s representative in France.
