Almost every film packaging, if not all, in the history of photography can be found in this impressive collection of Michel Lepinay, French photographer of naked girls. In 1960, Lepinay started working at Hara Kiri magazine, precursor to the infamous Charlie Hebdo. When the new magazine editors needed a photographer, they took out the phone book and Lepinay just happened to be the first one they found. He did a great job in shooting nudes, but he was more interested in technique than models. This archive was his life achievement, yet after Lepinay died his family sold it immediately.
