Misonne became interested in photography during his student days, and since he came from a comfortable financial background he was free to pursue his interest throughout his life.
Leonard used a variety of processes to record his atmospheric landscapes and street scenes-gum-bichromate, carbon, prints, Fresson and bromide.
