Which artist photographed Georgia O'Keeffe in hundreds of portraits?

The story behind the answer

Alfred Stieglitz photographed Georgia O'Keeffe in hundreds of portraits.

Alfred Stieglitz made hundreds of photographs of O'Keeffe between 1917 and 1937. The portraits document her face, hands, body, clothing, and changing appearance across two decades, forming one of the most extensive photographic records of an artist.

Stieglitz was a major photographer, gallery director, and advocate for modern art. He exhibited O'Keeffe's work at his galleries and helped introduce it to a wider audience. Their relationship became personal, and they married in 1924.

The photographs are not simply studio publicity images. Their quantity and intimacy made them a major part of both artists' careers and contributed to the public image of O'Keeffe. Stieglitz's photographs should not be confused with later portraits by other photographers.
