Mientras tanto, en la vida de Félix Nadar
La vida entera1854
A portrait studio at 113 rue Saint-Lazare
In 1854 a friend encouraged him to begin a portrait photography business; busy with caricature, Nadar yielded operations to his younger brother Adrien, who soon ran into debt, while Nadar took portraits at his own studio at 113 rue Saint-Lazare. Tensions between the brothers led to legal disputes over the right to use the name “Nadar”.

1858
The world’s first aerial photographs
He became the first person to take aerial photographs, using the wet-plate collodion process: the plates had to be prepared and developed in the basket while aloft, and escaping gas ruined the images until Nadar invented a gas-proof cotton cover for his baskets. He also pioneered the use of artificial light in photography, working underground in the catacombs of Paris.
1858
A patent for photography from a balloon
In 1858 he patented the idea of photographing from a balloon, which he himself put into practice by photographing Paris.
