Anne Brigman

Anne Wardrope (Nott) Brigman (18691950) was an American photographer and one of the original members of the PhotoSecession movement in America. Her most famous images were taken between 1900 and 1920, and depict nude women in primordial, naturalistic contexts. Brigman s photographs frequently focused on the female nude, dramatically situated in natural landscapes or trees. Many of her photos were taken in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in carefully selected locations and featuring elaborately staged poses
