Which photographer made a famous series of portraits of Georgia O'Keeffe?

Alfred Stieglitz made a famous series of portraits of Georgia O'Keeffe. Across roughly two decades, he photographed her repeatedly, producing hundreds of images that became part of both artists’ public histories.

Stieglitz’s photographs included close views of O'Keeffe’s face, hands, and body, as well as more formally composed portraits. He began the series before their marriage and continued it afterward. The photographs were exhibited and helped establish O'Keeffe as a significant figure in the New York art world.

O'Keeffe later objected to some interpretations of the images, especially readings that reduced her identity to Stieglitz’s photographic or Freudian ideas. The series therefore raises a wider question about artistic representation and control. O'Keeffe’s own paintings, letters, and later career demonstrate that she was not merely a subject of Stieglitz’s work but an influential artist in her own right.
