Louis-Victor-Emmanuel Sougez (16 July 1889 – 24 August 1972) was a French photographer.
Sougez was born in Bordeaux, and enrolled at age 15 at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux, where he studied art, but soon abandoned that to concentrate on photography. [1] From 1905 to 1914, he travelled widely, including Germany, Austria and Switzerland. [1]
After the First World War, became a freelance photographer, based in Paris. [2] There he formed the group ' Le Rectangle' which exhibited modern photography and with some of its members, after the war, helped establish its successor, Le Groupe des XV, then in the 1950s joined Les 30 x 40.
In 1926, Sougez founded the photographic department for the French weekly newspaper, L'Illustration, and promoted the use of colour photography. [1]
Sougez's work is in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. [3]
