Together they were the Photographers of Royal Families , Famous Personalities and Fashion Houses.. The financial crisis of 1929 , the WWII and a new vision of Photography dictated the increasing lack of interest in the classical Portrait and brought to 'Taponier' the urgency of Adaptation to the new Market demands... In 1949 Pierre and his brother Jacques Taponier, were among the first to use and share in France the new Color Techniques of Kodac (Color Die-Transfer) adapted to Portraits and Advertising ..this was a period of great creativity and Financial gains due to the work done for companies like Veuve-Clicquot, Ruinart, Dior, Sauzé, Marquay, Cristallerie Saint-Louis, etc.. the rapid emerging of a great number of new Companies and the demand of constant innovation brought a fierce competition to this new market and 'Taponier' wasn't ready for it and closed in the End of 1958...
