Eight Girls Taking Pictures by Whitney Otto

A profoundly moving portrayal of the lives of women, imagining the thoughts and events that produced eight famous female photographers of the twentieth century. Inspired by the work of Imogen Cunningham, Madame Yevonde, Tina Modotti, Grete Stern, Lee Miller, Ruth Orkin, and others, Otto weaves together eight stories, crisscrossing the world and a century to portray the tensions that defined the lives of female artists.
