Meaning 'Behind the lens of...'. These have arrived on my doormat. Excellent books, in which the photographers talk about how some of their shots came about, and some of the contacts & unpublished shots either side, demonstrating their thought processes. In French, but there are plenty of native speakers on the PDML and plenty of non-natives whose French is good enough to be able to understand the texts. One interesting little quantum of knowledge: in one of the pictures Ronis talks about using a 150mm lens to get the shot, and in a footnote says 'since I had replaced, in 1980, my Focas with a Pentax SLR I've used 2 zooms: a 28-50, and a 75-150'.
