Director Jean Renoir checks a camera angle. Place unknown, early '50s.

In the early 1950s, director Jean Renoir, dressed in a pinstripe suit, leans forward to check an angle through the viewfinder of a large motion picture camera. An operator stands ready at the controls while a third man in an ascot and sunglasses observes. The scene, captured outdoors on the steps of a stone building, is defined by the substantial wooden tripod and the bright, direct sunlight which creates strong highlights and deep shadows.
