Jacques Henri Lartigue (1884 – 1986, France) set out to compile a photographic record of the world around him from the age of six, creating an incredible lifelong body of photographs. Lartigue captured the joie de vivre of the world he lived in and his subject matter was rooted in the wealthy lifestyle he originated from. He recorded famous sporting events, early flying machines and fashionably dressed women of the day. His love of moving subjects, such as automobile races and tennis players, reflected his fascination with the camera and its ability to freeze unique moments in time.
