Nora Dumas (1890, Budapest – 23 May 1979, Genthod, Switzerland) was a Hungarian photographer who worked mainly in Paris in the Humanist genre.
Nora Dumas was born Kelenföldi Telkes Nóra, in 1890, in Budapest, and she left for Paris, France, in 1913.
Spending the years 1914–1917 in an internment camp, she then went to the United States, where she met the Swiss architect, Adrien-Émile Dumas, whom she married.
Nora’s photographs produced there and amongst other villages of the Seine depict rural life as endangered, as a result of the wartime decimation of the male population and poverty.
