Gerschel

Gerschel is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

French photographer Gerschel made sharp, elegant photographs like Jeux (1913), a single still frame that feels like a slice of quiet motion. Early 20th-century Paris pulses in the background, but the real show is the faces, boys lost in play, caught mid-laugh under a clouded sky. If you like the way light and shadow choreograph everyday life, tap Jeux to see how a single shutter click can freeze time.
