EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Louis Lumiere (1865-1948), the visionary French pioneer of cinematography, intently examining a strip of film. Known alongside his brother Auguste, Louis is credited with inventing the cinematograph, the groundbreaking device that brought moving pictures to the masses for the first time. The historic moment of the world's first publicly viewed motion picture occurred on December 28, 1895. The Lumieres went on to amass an extensive catalog of newsreel footage from around the world, with Louis directing approximately 60 films and producing close to 2000. This image, taken on March 9, 1935, offers a glimpse into the mind of the man who revolutionized the way we tell stories and share experiences through the power of moving images. Louis Lumiere's pioneering work in cinematography paved the way for the development of the film industry and continues to inspire filmmakers to this day.
