Imogen Cunningham
Imogen Cunningham (April 12, 1883 - June 24, 1976) was one of the best-known American female photographers.
She began taking pictures in 1901 after studying photographic chemistry at the University of Washington in Seattle. After study abroad, she opened a studio in Seattle in 1910. She was best known for her frank portraits of famous personalities, close-ups of flowers, and nudes. Her nudes revealed the intimacy and sensuality of the female body. In the late 1920s she began her celebrated series of plant photographs. She was attracted to photography by the work of Gertrude Kasebier.
Imogen was also suspected of being a closet lesbian, this was apparently reflected in her work, especially the self-portraiture.
Cunningham was one of the original members of the Group f/64.
