During World War II, Chinn served in the Pacific as an aerial and public relations photographer for the U.S. Army Air Corps. After the War, he returned to San Francisco and enrolled in a new fine-art photography program at CSFA. The program, inaugurated in 1945 by Ansel Adams and Minor White, was the first in the country dedicated to fine art photography. The first years of the program, known as the &#8220;Golden Decade,&#8221;cultivated a close-knit group of photographers who were not only technically adept, but also keenly tuned to their own visual voice and the artistic potential of their medium.Chinn, in particular, excelled in capturing intimate details of everyday life in the post-war era.&#xD;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif\">&#xD;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<p>&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_535\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-535\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2014\/03\/Chinn-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-535\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-535 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2014\/03\/Chinn-1.jpg\" alt=\"man riding a horse cart\" width=\"580\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2014\/03\/Chinn-1.jpg 690w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2014\/03\/Chinn-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2014\/03\/Chinn-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-535\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/p>\n<p><em>Vittel Horse Wagon<\/em><br \/>\n<br \/>\n Benjamen Chinn Photographic Archive<\/figcaption><\/figure>&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"text-align: center;clear: both\" \/>\n&#xD;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As a student, he gained recognition chronicling the unique and changing world just&#xD;<br \/>\noutside his doorstep in San Francisco.

During this time, the 29-year-old Chinn continued his art training: he studied&#xD;<br \/>\nsculpture with Alberto Giacometti at the Acad&#xE9;mie Julian, took painting classes at&#xD;<br \/>\nFernand L&#xE9;ger&#8217;s school, and studied geography and philosophy at the Paris-Sorbonne&#xD;<br \/>\nUniversity.<\/p>\n<p>&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_536\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-536\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2014\/03\/chinn-2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-536\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-536 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2014\/03\/chinn-2.jpg\" alt=\"woman walking through a street shop\" width=\"580\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2014\/03\/chinn-2.jpg 690w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2014\/03\/chinn-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2014\/03\/chinn-2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-536\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/p>\n<p><em>Rue des Abbesses &#8211; Sidewalk Market<\/em><br \/>\n<br \/>\n Benjamen Chinn Photographic Archive<\/figcaption><\/figure>&#xD;<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-content entry-content\" style=\"text-align: justify\">In Paris, Chinn photographed families, musicians, children, students, shopkeepers,&#xD;<br \/>\nworkers, street-performers&#8211; every aspect of daily Parisian life.
