W Eugene Smith
In 1926 he founded the photo service of L'llustration directed until 1945, working in parallel in the illustration of art books. With twenty years, began to make artistic photographs, the majority of large format, in which are observed, fundamentally, the techniques of still life and nudes. In this way, Sougez began to emerge as a creative photographer with a closely related own line with the German power "New objectivity". His work is universally known for his still lifesmade with camera format 30 x 40, which chooses everyday items whose beauty is notable for a very refined lighting. Also his series of nudes made with the legendary model Assia, are very representative of their production.
