Bruno Braquehais trained in the lithographic workshop at the state school for the deaf that he attended between the ages of nine and twelve. He showed talent and upon graduation worked as a lithographer before setting himself up as an artist in Paris. His marriage to the daughter of a commercial daguerreotypist precipitated his professional shift to photography. From 1853 to 1855 Braquehais produced his best-known work: nude artists' studies, or *académies,* which were used primarily by painters as preparatory studies. He registered his first photographs for sale in 1854. Upon the death of his father-in-law in 1855, Braquehais inherited his daguerreotype portrait studio and continued to run it successfully. In 1871 he produced an album of 109 photographs of the Paris Commune, a three-month insurrection against the French government. Though he faced his share of financial troubles, his career lasted twenty-five years. He declared bankruptcy in 1873 and by December of that year was in prison for defrauding an investor. He died at home shortly after his release.
