La pose et l'éclairage en photographie dans les ateliers et les appartements
A French photography manual by C. Klary, published in Paris in 1903, aimed at studio and home portrait photographers learning posing and lighting. Its plates are halftone reproductions of studio portraits: a woman in a wide-brimmed hat lit softly against a dark ground, a seated figure by a window, a row of small head-and-shoulders studies, a bust-length woman in a lace gown, and a full-length figure in a flowing white robe with long loose hair. A designer can take from them the soft directional light falloff, the dark backgrounds and the gestural, draped poses of early studio portraiture.
