Eugène Degand (1839–1911) was part of the second generation of French photographers (1860s–1880s). He settled in Nice in 1863 and is listed in the Nice directories as a painter as early as 1864, but as a photographer only from 1869 onward. He belonged to the first generation of photographers in Nice, which included portraitists and landscape photographers such as Pierre Ferret (1815–1875), Michele Schemboche (c. 1828–1908), Alberto Pacelli (1821–after 1884), Luigi Crette (1823–1872), Miguel Aleo (Havana, 1824–after 1885?), Joseph Silli (c. 1838–after 1905), Charles Nègre (Grasse, 1820 – Grasse 1880), Jean Walburg de Bray (Orléans, 1839–Nice, 1901).
