Photographe parisien. Fondateur en 1900 d'une maison de photographie d'art, spécialisée dans le portrait, et en 1910 d'un service de presse chargé de commercialiser ses portraits de personnalités et ses reportages. En 1925, tout en conservant son premier studio (15, rue Duphot), il en installe un second au 27, de la rue du Faubourg Montmartre (IXe arr.) : il travaille alors pour la publicité, la mode et l'actualité, ses relations avec la classe politique favorisant d'importantes commandes institutionnelles (reportages sur les hôpitaux ; grande campagne photographique sur les prisons). Juif, il se réfugie en 1941 à Montpellier, après avoir vendu son affaire à Louis Silvestre, un de ses collaborateurs
