Cunningham, Imogen 1883-1976
Started taking images of plant life and her
portrait work came much later. I do think she was a trend setter as she took
some good nude images well before anyone else dared to.
Some of her work was pretty good especially when
you look at the ones layered over the top of each other and it displays like
its being done using computer software but, at the time they didn’t have
software’s like PhotoShop. What I think she’s done is to use multiple films and
layer them on top of each other and exposed the light through them, which then
reflect on the light sensitive paper and you get an image. I think it’s really
clever what she’s done. Unless you’re a photographer yourself, or knowing how
the dark room works, it makes you wonder how she’s done it!
