I wanted to show you all Imogen Cunningham this week. She is possibly considered one of the best (or most well known) female photographers of the 20th century. She started shooting when she was 18 in 1901 so she was really popular during the 1920's ad 30's. These images are shot with black and white film and printed in the darkroom, like the Barbara Morgan dance photos we looked at on our field trip. I really admire the range of value in her prints. She really captured a rich black in the shadow areas. Also, notice how she uses body parts like hands and arms in a way that even 60-70 years later seems like something new and exciting in photography!
