Lipnitzki first worked for a photographer in Odessa, then opened his own studio in Pultusk. He arrived in Paris in the early 1920s. There, he established a studio at 40 rue du Colisée, where he photographed many of the artistic personalities of the 20th century from the 1920s-1960s,[2] as well as picturing them in their own surroundings.

His subjects included Maurice Ravel, René Hubert, Albert Camus, Blaise Cendrars,[3] Jean Cocteau, Otto Preminger, Igor Strawinsky, Arthur Honegger,[4] Leonid Massine, Serge Lifar, Paul Poiret, Coco Chanel, Olga Spessivtseva, Josephine Baker, Nyota Inyoka, Brigitte Bardot, Serge Gainsbourg, Le Groupe des 6, Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso.[5][6] He was a stills photographer on Gance’s Napoléon and caught more informal views of crew and actors relaxing,[7] and also recorded major ballet performances.[8]

Lipnitzki's prodigious output was decimated when the Athenaeum theatre, where his friend Louis Jouvet had helped him hide his prints during the Occupation, was flooded.

In 1970, his collection was bought by the Roger-Viollet agency.
