René Maltête moved to Paris at the age of 21, and bought a Semflex 6×6 camera 3 years later in hopes of pursuing a serious photography career, but became popular for his street photos filled with very sophisticated French humor instead.
Born in 1930, Rene Maltête began taking pictures at the age of 16. With an eye for detail and a love of humour, his photographs amused the audience and were often thought-provoking or slightly philosophical in nature.
