Francesca Woodman



Francesca Woodman was born in Denver, CO and pursued a career in fashion photography in New York City. She committed suicide before her work took off and was well known. Her work was not accepted by society. In general, Woodman's work was in black and white. She was known for using long exposures and creating a blur in her photos. Woodman's work influenced the "Victorian female protagonist," and their work. She worked with abstract subjects in simple and concrete representations and surroundings. It allowed Woodman to challenge reality.
