Founded in 1934 by Cosette Harcourt, in association with Robert Ricci and the Lacroix brothers, Studio Harcourt Paris has immortalized the greatest figures of the 20th and 21st centuries. Its world-famous signature draws its inspiration from the glamorous roots of black and white cinema. Thanks to its unique lighting, Studio Harcourt Paris brings out the natural glow of each model. The Harcourt touch is defying time, with inimitable style: the perfect combination between mystery and legend. Through a dazzling light capturing eternity, the Studio Harcourt Prestige and Instant portraits reflect the personality of the model. Since its inception, Studio Harcourt Paris has got through ages, trends and social changes. It is the sole survivor of an era when distinguished clients were going to great photo studios.
