Francesca Woodman

Francesca Woodman (1958 - 1981) was an American photographer who worked mostly with female models, including herself, and low shutter speeds. Often the women are anonymous and blend to some extent into their surroundings. She attended the Rhode Island School of Design. Though her work gained little attention during her short life, they have garnered much appreciation after her death. She created around 10,000 negatives (which her family now owns) and of approximately 800 prints, only 120 have ever been exhibited. She committed suicide at the age of 22.
