Imogen Cunningham

 Naples Art opened another wonderful exhibition yesterday.  Two photographers.  Today:  well-known photographer Imogen Cunningham, who had a six decade career on the West Coast.


Some of Cunningham's photographs are almost abstract, like these hands morphing to skeletal.


She was a noted portrait photographer.  The one on the right is Minor White, himself a noted photographer.  The one on the left is simply a man exhaling cigarette smoke.


Cunningham (1883-1976) was also an avid gardener.  One alcove showed some of her botanical studies.


Later in her career, Cunningham experimented with double exposures.


One visitor gave herself a time-out to check her phone.

I have always enjoyed to work of Imogen Cunningham. Minor White was the professor of one of my photographer friends. Interesting links. I wish I could see this exhibit. Thank you for your photos.
