Auguste-Rosalie Bisson was a French photographer born in Paris on 21 April 1826. He is known for his pioneering work in the field of photography, particularly landscape photography.

Bisson and his brother Louis-Auguste were among the first photographers to photograph the French Alps. They travelled extensively throughout Europe, photographing landscapes and cityscapes. Their work was highly regarded for its technical excellence and artistic merit.

In 1860, Bisson was commissioned by Napoleon III to photograph the construction of the new Louvre Museum in Paris. He also photographed the construction of the Eiffel Tower, which was completed in 1889.

Bisson's photographs are notable for their clarity, sharpness and attention to detail. He was a master of the wet collodion process, which allowed him to produce images of high resolution and tonal range.

Bisson died in Versailles, France, on 21 May 1900. His legacy as a photographer continues to inspire and influence photographers today.
