Studio Harcourt was founded in 1934 by photographer Cosette Harcourt, née Germaine Hirschfeld (1900–1976), in association with Robert Ricci and the Lacroix brothers, and located at 11, rue Christophe-Colomb in Paris. It has always been known for its black-and-white photographs of film stars and other celebrities, but having one's photo taken at Harcourt has also long been seen as a mark of success among the French upper middle class. The studio is currently located at 6, rue de Lota in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
