Imogen Cunningham was an American photographer, born on April 12th of 1883 in Oregon and died on June 24th of 1976. She was know specially for her botanical photography, industrial landscapes and nudes.
At age of eighteen, she bought her first camera, but she lost interest about photography very soon. 5 years later, while she was studying chemistry in the university of Seattle, she regained the passion for photography. That's when she strarted to take it seriously and later turned a professional.
I really like her pictures, all of them. All the close-up pictures of flowers and plants are amazing, they transmit a lot of calm, they are very pleasant. I want to try to take pictures like her, because I want to make people feel what I feel when I see these picures.
Very beautiful pre-assignment thoughts.
