Caricaturist Nadar (Gaspard-Félix Tournachon) became a photographer known for his experiments with aerial, subterranean, and electrically illuminated photography. He was also an impresario who—with his younger brother, Adrien Tournachon, and son, Paul Nadar—established a chic studio at 35, boulevard des Capucines in Paris, then emblazoned the family name on the building and across a generation of celebrity portraits. Paul Nadar also experimented with making films and designing cameras as early as 1896.
