Boy with a Camera: The Story of Jacques-Henri Lartigue

Jacques-Henri Lartigue was given his first camera in 1902 for his seventh birthday, and he went on to take hundreds of pictures during his childhood. Lartigue had a gift of knowing when to click the shutter of his camera to capture people and things in motion - a ball suspended in the air, an uncle diving into the water, and the first flight of a glider in France. These photographs are presented in this book and reveal Lartigue's exploration of the world around him. It sets out to offer young readers an entertaining approach to understanding and appreciating photography.
