Doisneau worked at Rapho until the outbreak of world war 2, whereupon he was drafted into the French army as both a soldier and photographer. He was in the army until 1940 and from then until the end of the war in 1945 used his draughtsmanship, lettering artistry, and engraving skills to forge passports and identification papers for thefrench resistance. Some of Doisneau's most memorable photographs were taken after the war. He returned to freelance photography and sold photographs to life and other international magazines.



The reason why i have picked Robert doisneau for my unit 1 love and hate because in his photographs  clearly shows the relationships between people and the emotion. His work relates to my topic love and hate because his photographs show the emotion either love or hate this is don by two people physically touching each ohther like the first image two people are kissing each other and the last image shows its feeling by body gesture this is done by the girl smiling and the body stairring at her clearly shows they like each other as the girl is allowing the man to stair at him.
