About
Claude Constant Laval I (November 8, 1882 – February 20, 1966), commonly known as Pop Laval, was an American photographer during the early 1900s who specialized in documenting California's San Joaquin Valley and Sierra Nevada mountains, particularly featuring Fresno. As a prolific photographer producing approximately one hundred thousand negatives, his 55-year legacy features people, and not just scenic photography. Pop Laval Foundation, run by Laval's great-granddaughter, Elizabeth Laval, is seeking to preserve and reintroduce Laval's work to students, history buffs and researchers. In pursuit of a career in photography, he invested in new equipment and began documenting various incidents with his camera. His photography also encompassed a wide variety of nature scenes.
