Léon Herschtritt, a celebrated French photographer, is known for his striking black-and-white images that capture the essence of Parisian life. Born in 1936, Herschtritt's work focuses on the city's intimate and everyday scenes, providing a glimpse into its culture.

His photography is marked by a keen eye for detail and an ability to convey emotion, making his images resonate with viewers even decades later.

I love this photograph, taken at the iconic Café de Flore in 1960, for its contrast—the energy of the couple sharing a kiss juxtaposed with the composed demeanor of the man in a suit sitting beside them.
