Dora Kallmus (1881-1963) was one of the first women to open a portrait studio in Vienna. Then, in 1924, she opened a studio in Paris dedicated to fashion. She had to flee during the war, and when she returned to Paris in 1945, she photographed refugees and Parisian slaughterhouses while also accepting portrait commissions from Parisian high society.
