Studio Harcourt - Romy Schneider, 1960. Studio Hartcourt

Studio Harcourt of Paris, formerly known as Studio Harcourt, is a photography studio founded in 1933 by Cosette Harcourt at number 11, Rue Christophe-Colomb in Paris. In 1934, the Lacroix brothers joined as press officers and Robert Ricci, son of Nina Ricci. This studio is well known for its black-and-white photographs of cinema stars and celebrities. Owning a photograph taken in the studio was considered a standard for the French upper middle class.

Cosette Harcourt began to specialize in glamorous, black-and-white photographs of cinema stars and French culture. Photos were taken with a bright, distinctive, easily recognizable style. Harcourt’s typical style consisted of a close-up portrait with optimal lighting, often creating a halo of light and shadow over a background that ranged from gray to black. The subject’s pose was personal, often with a slight smile. Harcourt is very visible in every photograph.
