Funny Street Photographs by René Maltête

René Maltête is one of the pioneers of street photography, and during the 1950s and 1960s in France, he created something rather beautiful. At the age of 21, he used a Semflex 6×6 camera and he made his breakthrough with a lovely series of funny street photographs. He focused on a perfect timing, perspective, and irony and 50 years later, people are still loving his humorous images. René passed away 17 years ago, but his remarkable work still lives!
