A wonderful process shot with the model Bettina, by Georges Dambier, for Elle, August 5, 1955 
My favourite Suzy Parker photos are by Richard Avedon, but Georges Dambier comes close. This is for Elle, September 1952.
Georges Dambier includes a Vermeer print & Vermeer lighting to this shot of Marie-Helene Arneaud for Elle

Georges Dambier took this shot of a great actress-turned-singer, used on the cover of the 1963 album "Jeanne Moreau Chante 12 Chansons de Cyrus Bassiak". A number of the songs have music by Ward Swingle. François Truffaut writes the liner notes!
A fine portrait of Jacques Becker by Georges Dambier
Françoise Dorleac & Jean-Pierre Cassel by Georges Dambier. The two made a number of films together in the early 1960s.
A fun picture of Fernandel by Georges Dambier. That's his son Franck, who seems just a bit tired of his dad's antics. This puts the photo just after the war, since the lad was born in 1935. Franck Fernandel later became a successful actor & singer.
A lovely shot of Jacques Prévert by Georges Dambier, a bit in the style of Robert Doisneau, perhaps.
Many of Georges Dambier's portraits are informal candid shots, but he calls on his fashion photography experience for this stylish shot of Sylvie Vartan.
A wonderful photograph by Georges Dambier. The caption on his website reads "Little girl with her hoop".
"Défense D'Afficher" means "Post no bills".

Georges Dambier took this photo, captioned "Bee Bop", at a Dizzy Gillespie gig at the Salle Pleyel in Paris, in 1948.
By the way, you can hear the 9 songs Dizzy & his band played that night, February 28, 1948, at archive.org/details/tntvil…
The songs are #73-81

In April 1953 Georges Dambier went to Morocco with Suzy Parker for an Elle photoshoot. Lots of amazing shots!

Georges Dambier was one of the first fashion photographers to take his models out of the studio into the real world. For this 1957 Elle shot, he had his model Suzy Parker interact with a real-life policeman. Innovative improvisation in what was still a fairly stodgy industry.
A spectacular shot of Juliette Gréco by Georges Dambier, from 1949.
