Willy Ronis 1910-2009
Tuesday 15 September 2009
Willy Ronis, one of the great French post-war photographers, died on Saturday 12th September. He was 99.
Ronis made his name photographing everyday life in Paris. Richard Bram remembers him as “A great photographer and a charming gentleman”, and recalls “a delightful conversation with him in London. I went to hear him speak at the Institut Français in Kensington, London, and had met him one other time. I treasure those moments.”
David Gibson met him too, and remembers “his phrase ‘the fear of missing’ about his photography. One of the true greats.”
Ronis took this beautiful image of his wife, Marie-Anne Lansiaux, in 1949.

Manifesto
In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.
Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what’s really going on in the world around us.
