Josef Breitenbach was a self-taught photographer who turned to the medium in the early 1930s, opening his first studio in Munich in 1932, where he focused on press and studio work. Following the rise of National Socialism, he was forced to emigrate in 1933, first to Paris, where he continued his practice until 1941, and subsequently to New York. There, he established a third studio and remained active as a photographer until his death in 1984.
