We’ve been studying the theme of PLAY and brainstorming ways of incorporating it into our photos. Let’s take a look at a famous University of Washington alumni, Imogen Cunningham!
She was known for pushing past what was popular at the time, and in turn, created a style unlike anyone else’s in a majorly male-dominated art world.
Our favorite story is about how she and Ansel Adams were playfully rivals about commercializing their work. She made fun of Adams for what she considered “selling out” and straying from making “real art.”
Love the playful photographer drama, and Imogen’s incredibly energetic work!
