In 1901, Boissonnas set up a studio in Paris, called "Taponnier de Rheims", buying another photography studio in Lyon in 1902. He then entered into a partnership with Fritz Eggler who ran a studio in Saint Petersburg, Russia. In 1903, he bought the Nadar Studio in Marseille. Boissonnas was known for his photographs of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt and Nubia, now Sudan and Egypt.
