Toni Frissell
Known for both her fashion and photojournalism images, Toni Frissell is a historic icon of American photography. Born in 1907, Frissell's emphasis was frequently on women in all sorts of environments, in many stages of their lives. Before World War II, her career consisted of shooting for heavy hitting fashion magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, but wartime changed her artistic inclinations. One of Frissell's major accomplishments was photographing the war, during which she snapped thousands of candid shots of nurses, orphans, soldiers. After the war, Frissell continued her commercial photographic work, shooting for Sports Illustrated as one of the only female sports photographers of her time.
This was one of the few color images that I found when going through her work.
