Sophie Ristelhueber (born 1949) is a French photographer.
Her photographs concern the human impact of war, and she has
photographed extensively in the Balkans and Middle East. She was born in
Paris, where she still lives. Sophie started by showing an early series (called ‘Every One’) of
photographs of scars on human bodies that she took at a hospital in
Paris. She explained that she would go to the hospital everyday and take
photographs of post surgical scars. When she exhibited them she did so
very large so that they were transformed into landscapes.
