Antoine Samuel Adam-Salomon was a pioneering French sculptor and photographer, who elevated portrait photography to an art form through his expert use of lighting, shadow, and composition. His portraits greatly were renowned for their depth and sculptural quality, rivaling painted portraiture in richness and realism. In recognition of his achievements, he was awarded the Legion of Honor in 1870.
