Édouard Boubat ( French: [buba] ; 13 September 1923 – 30 June 1999) was a French photojournalist and art photographer.
Life and work
Boubat was born in Montmartre , Paris. He studied typography and graphic arts at the École Estienne and worked for a printing company before becoming a photographer. In 1943, he was subjected to service du travail obligatoire , forced labour of French people in Nazi Germany , and witnessed some of the horrors of World War II . He took his first photograph after the war in 1946 and was awarded the Kodak Prize the following year. He travelled internationally for the French magazine Réalités , where his colleague was Jean-Philippe Charbonnier , and later worked as a freelance photographer. French poet Jacques Prévert called him a "peace correspondent" as he was humanist , apolitical and photographed uplifting subjects. His son Bernard Boubat is also a photographer. [1] [2] [3]
