Léonard Misonne (1870-1943)
Léonard Misonne was a Belgian pictorialist photographer. He is known for his landscapes and street scenes with atmospheric skies.
Misonne would often photograph things that were strongly illuminated from behind, producing a halo effect. He would also retouch the lighting effects in his photographs, experimenting with and using many techniques, such as the Fresson process and later the bromoil and mediobrome processes. He also invented the "flou-net" and "photo-dessin" processes.

Yes! Exquisite photography. Hit me like first seeing and understanding Cartier Bresson. But, only 37 comments over 2 years, in an age obsessed with hype, sharpness and resolution. What has become of us? These photos will influence me and where I take my photography. Light, composition, and emotion. Thank you.

And to think, he probably shot with a $15 camera. Today we have to have a $3K - $10K one…to make us creative. 😉 Now days Most “photographers” haven’t a clue what is the zone system or how to use a light meter.

Stunning, simply stunning. You can not replicate images like this in a digital camera. Not with any amount of post processing. I’ve just found my favourite photographer. I’d never even heard of him until now.

The most incredible photographer i have ever seen. For me no other living or dead photographer or artist comes close to this man. These pictures move me so much.

I consider Misonne to be the greatest pictorial photographer who has ever lived. I only discovered him a couple of years ago. His work is in some ways akin to my own. I simply do not understand as yet, how he was able to shoot against the light and get a tonal range that shows everything while looking etched. His work has made me consider my first steps in going back to working with actual film. This is after 25 years working with digital capture and eventually making the results look like film - close, very very close, but not quite.

Some people can point a camera at the world and effortlessly covey it all, emotion,sense of time, balance and mystery. This work does just that. Superb.

Hi, I don ‘t think it was effortless. I think these beautiful images are the result of really hard wok. Take care.

It is so refreshing to see such a talented photographer, in an era before computers, AI, and heavy-handed printing. He understood light, composition and how to render those on film and paper. Wonderful!

They have the look of paintings due to the bromoil process which uses ink in making the print.

If you like these, you'll probably like P. H. Emerson's stuff. He's much more famous, though his body of work is smaller. Like Misonne, he worked on the edges of Pictorialism and Modernism. His camera positions and use of monumental depiction, forefronting almost abstract shapes make for some very striking pictures. He was also something of a socially aware documentarist.
