Auguste Belloc
1800-1867
French artist and photographer
1800 born in Paris
1829 His early work consisted in miniatures and watercolors but he soon was to discover photography
1845 he became enthused by the discovery of the wet-plate collodion process
1851 Belloc had his own studio at boulevard Montmartre 5, and already had taken to specializing in portraiture and nudes
1852 he collaborated with the painter and photographer Alexandra Clausel, who had come up with a lacquer for his oil paintings. Together they perfected a wax coating process for the purposes of conferring a certain luster to images on salted paper
1853 Belloc brought out, at author's expense, his first book on photography: "A Theoretical and Practical Treatise on Collodion-Process Photography". The following year he set up a photographic printing press and became a founding member of the "Societé Francaise de Photographie".
1867 he died
Belloc got into quite a bit of trouble for his "pornographic" pictures. There is a new and pricey book out there about his troubles and showing the photos that so outraged the academics (not the people) of France.
It is difficult to imagine the uproar, yet the images below of overtly displayed genetalia and... Oh, mon Dieu! there is a woman, her vagin showing, in bed, holding Pierre's coq! Incroyable!!!
Feel free to feel jaded...
