Bruno Braquehais

Bruno Braquehais (1823-1875) was an early French photographer who pioneered the art of photojournalism during the Paris Commune of 1871. The Musée d'Orsay has a page about Braquehais.  He also photographed nudes, but I'm sure enterprising readers can seek them out if interested...
