Dominique Darbois (5 April 1925 – 6 September 2014) was a French photojournalist and author, noted for her humanist studies of diverse locales, artifacts, children, and colonized peoples.
From 1949 to the end of her life, she worked throughout the world, including Laos, Indonesia, USSR, Australia, Mexico, Guatemala, Algeria, Iran, and the Congo.
[5] From 1952 through 1978, she completed 20 books for the collection Les Enfants du Monde [Children of the World], with the publishing group Fernand Nathan in Paris.
These books are typically oversize quarto volumes featuring candid black-and-white photographs of children from various cultures and nationalities, often naked or scantily attired.
Beyond the juvenile market, she has published books about Amazon Indians, African sculpture, Chinese landscape painting, Egyptian art and Oriental carpets.
