Michel Berthaud (10 November 1845 – 1912) was a French photographer.

Early life and education

Michel A. Berthaud was born on 10 November 1845 in Vienne, Isère, France. Michel, along with his brothers Jean and Georges, was known as the Berthaud Frères.

Career

Berthaud was active in photography throughout the 1860s and 1880s.

In the 1860s, a photo studio belonging to Michel, Jean, and Georges Berthaud was established in Paris' 9th arrondissement at 9 Rue Cadet under the name "Maison Hélios". English photographer Eadweard Muybridge was trained in photography by the Berthaud brothers and was authorized to use the studio as a contact address in 1862.

Michel Berthaud was a significant member of the Trade Union Chamber of Photography (French: Chambre syndicale de la Photographie) and later became its president. Tasked with promoting the Exhibition of the Central Union of Fine Arts (French: Exposition de l'Union centrale des Beaux Arts) at the Palais de l'Industrie, he addressed a general meeting of the Société française de photographie in June 1865.

From 1867 to 1870, Michel Berthaud and the French painter and printmaker Étienne-Prosper Berne-Bellecour were business associates, with Berthaud eventually succeeding Berne-Bellecour.

Berthaud notably took a photo of French theater actress Mlle Agar in 1868. A photograph of French painter Henri Regnault was taken at his studio around 1868–70.

Expanding their photography operations to eight cities in France, Berthaud and Berne-Bellecour planned a Troyes branch in 1868 under the name "Hélios." Troyes-based photographer Gustave Lancelot adopted the name first, leading to a lawsuit. On 7 December 1868, the Commercial Court ruled in Lancelot's favor, citing his prior use and the plaintiffs' lack of trademark registration. Lancelot kept the name, and the plaintiffs appealed.

Berthaud became a member of the French Society of Photography (French: Société française de photographie) in 1873.

In 1882, he served as a member of the Central Union of Decorative Arts' Initiative Committee for the photographic section of their exhibition.

In 1888, Berthaud, now vice president of the Trade Union Chamber of Photography, was appointed as a member of the organization committee for the International Congress of Photography held in Paris in August 1889. At the 1889 Universal Exhibition, the Berthaud brothers captured the detail of the central dome of the Palais des Expositions diverses.

From 1889 to 1908, he and his brothers ran a Parisian postcard publishing company known as B. F., Paris.

The president of the Trade Union Chamber of Photography took on the role of vice president for the 1897 Brussels International Exposition's Organization Committee for photography. In 1898, he was listed as a delegate for the National Union of Photographic Societies of France (French: Union nationale des Sociétés photographiques de France).

Death

Michel Berthaud died in 1912 in Paris, France.
