Eugène Druet is the precursor of fine art photography. Through his sensitivity and his unique style, he knows how to capture the beauty of a work of art, the flat surface of a painting by Félix Vallotton or the volume of a sculpture by Rodin. But if the work of art by Eugène Druet is respected, it becomes magnified under its lens and its "Druet Process", long, precious and unique, with twenty-four hours of exposure, gives by its subtle black and white a velvety particular to the cliché.
