Brassai
Right then, you horrible lot, time for some culture.
Brassai was born Gyula Halasz in Brasso, Romania (then a part of Transylvania) in 1899. He moved to Paris, and moved to Montparnasse, where all the artists lived. His genuine love of the city led to his slow obsession with it, and he released his first series of photographs, entitled 'Paris By Night' in 1933.
He became recognised as one of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century until his death in 1984.
