Photography allowed Edgar Degas to capture moments in time that he could never have captured before.
Degas was a French artist known for his paintings, sculptures, and prints. He used photography as a tool to capture images of his subjects in different positions and to help him plan his compositions.
Photography allowed Edgar Degas to study the human form in a new way and to capture the beauty of the human form in a new way.
Degas was known for his studies of ballet dancers, who were often photographed by Degas himself using a camera he designed specifically for this purpose. He was interested in capturing their movements on film so he could study them later at his leisure and plan out how best to represent them in paint or sculpture.
Photography allowed Edgar Degas to capture the world around him in a new way and to document the world around him in a new way.
Degas used photography as an artistic tool—he would photograph crowded streets and busy city life so that he could use those images as inspiration when creating paintings later on. He also used photographs taken by others as inspiration for his own works of art; for example, one famous painting of his is based on an image taken by Eugène Atget.
