The first one(Sandra Bernhardt- actress) I'm pretty sure was done by Nadar (Gaspard-FĂ©lix Tournachon) a celebrity photographer from the turn of the last century in France.
The other one(Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare, 1932 )is
Henri Cartier-Bresson and is an example of what he coined "the decisive moment" in photography. Basically he meant you have to carry your camera everywhere to be ready for these fleeting images.

Image 2 is by Henri Cartier-Bresson.
