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" and later at 31 Rue Bellefond. 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 became a business associate of French painter and printmaker Étienne-Prosper Berne-Bellecour from 1867 to 1870 and succeeded him at the end of the 1890s.

Berthaud notably took a photo of French theater actress Mlle Agar in 1868. A photograph of French painter Henri Regnault was taken at the 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. By 1886, he was serving as a member of the Trade Union Chamber of Photography.

From 1889 to 1908, he and his brothers ran a Parisian postcard publishing company known as B. F., Paris. At the 1889 Universal Exhibition, they captured the detail of the central dome of the Palais des Expositions diverses.

Death

Michel Berthaud died in 1912 in Paris, France.
