One of the Toulouse photographer's Alain Noguès first jobs was as a printer. This is an important notation for two reasons, the first is that this was his school because having in his hands in the darkroom the negatives of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, Ernst Haas, Willy Ronis, Marc Riboud was an opportunity to study the style of the best photographers of the time. The second was a consequence of the first: as he only had to work late afternoons, in his free time he could walk around Paris and photograph, putting what he had learnt to good use. He became a photographer for agencies such as Gamma first and Rapho later, he published in magazines such as Life and Paris Match, he won two editions of the World Press Photo, it is also thanks to those distant, fruitful beginnings that he achieved this results.
