Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894-1986) was a French photographer and painter, known for his photographs of automobile races, planes and female Parisian fashion models.
Born in Courbevoie in western Paris to a wealthy family, Lartigue started taking photographs when he was seven.
He photographed his friends and family at play-running and jumping; racing home-built race cars; making kites, gliders as well as aeroplanes; and climbing the Eiffel Tower. He was one of the first artists to use the Kodak Brownie camera for snapshots.
Many of his initial, famous photographs were originally captured in stereo, but he also produced a vast number of images in all formats and media including glass plates in various sizes, autochromes, and film. He developed his own photographs from a young age.
