Although Stéphane Passet’s name may not be as well known as some of his contemporaries, his contributions to early color photography and ethnographic documentation are invaluable. His work remains a time capsule, offering modern viewers a rare glimpse into the everyday lives and landscapes of early 20th-century cultures. The rich detail and vibrant colors of his Autochromes make his images feel timeless, preserving moments of history in ways that black-and-white photography could not. Today, Passet’s work stands as a testament to the power of photography to bridge cultural divides and capture the nuances of global diversity.
