Identity
Lacombe is famous for her raw techniques for shooting her portraits: “The situation I create is devoid of production values… I try to make it as bare as possible so it’s about them as them. It’s not just me imposing something; I want an exchange”. At age seventeen, Lacombe left school to pursue photography as an apprentice with the black and white lab for Elle in Paris. Her first assignment was the 1975 Cannes Film Festival. Lacombe started working at the black and white lab of Elle in Paris when she left school. She went to the 1975 Cannes Film Festival, where she met Dustin Hoffman and Donald Sutherland and started to photograph on film sets. She worked on the movies of Sam Mendes, David Mamet, Martin Scorsese, and others.
Brigitte Lacombe is recorded as having received Lucie Award.
