Looking Back ~ Powerful Female Photographers

Vintage Photography - Both of these photographer's worked as photo-journalist's. Nina Leen was one of the first female photographer's to work for Life magazine. She is  best known for her timeless and stunning fashion photography as well as her photography of animals.

A quote from Nina Leen - " I have a feeling that in art the need to understand and the need to communicate are one".


-----------------------------

Eve Arnold, is a noted  American photographer known for her famous portraits and pictures of V.I.P. clients such as Queen Elizabeth, Malcom X, Joan Crawford and Marilyn Monroe, who for many years trusted Eve more then any other photographer to take her pictures.
She also did a series of portraits of American Presidents wives and extensive photography in China, Russia, South Africa and Afghanistan.


Both of these women gave us brillant and interesting images to look at and enjoy through their eyes and talent, they were able to express what was going on at the time by capturing many amazing stories through their "personal" lens.
