Sabine Weiss (23 January 1924 – 28 December 2021) was a Swiss-French photographer (specifically in the Humanist branch). Weiss began to photograph in 1932 with a bakelite camera bought with her pocket money and made contact prints on printing-out paper on her windowsill. Her father supported her in her choice, and she later learned photographic technique. From 1942 to 1946, from Frédéric Boissonnas, a studio photographer in Geneva. After this apprenticeship, she received the Swiss qualification in photography in 1945. From 1950, Weiss was represented by Agence Rapho, the leading French press agency managing the work of Robert Doisneau. Weiss's street photography, of children playing in the wasteland of her neighbourhood, Porte de Saint-Cloud and of Paris and its daily life, was produced independently of her magazine work, for love, and embraces the philosophy of humanist photography.
