Imogen Cunningham

Imogen went to the University of Washington in 1906 long before women could vote and indoor plumbing was de rigeur. She studied the chemistry behind photography working her way through school by creating slides for the botanists. After winning a prestigious scholarship she studied in Dresden only to come back to Seattle. She opened a studio where she became master of the portrait, nude, botanicals and street photography. She shot for Vanity Fair and co-founded the famed Group_f/64 that included Ansel Adams, Henry Swift and personal favorite, Sonya Noskowiak.

Imogen was / is outrageous.
