Imogen Cunningham

Imogen Cunningham was born in 1883 in Portland Oregon. She started her career early at the age of eighteen with her first camera and continued taking pictures up until her death at the age of 93.Cunningham made great strides in the world of photography, being one of the first women to make a career out of photography. She is known for her up close pictures of flowers in the 1920's. She used natural light and extreme sharpness to define her images. Cunningham was also one of the co founders of the group f/64 along with Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. She was an amazing photographer and here are some of my favorite images of hers.
