Which photographer made hundreds of portraits of Georgia O’Keeffe during their marriage?

The story behind the answer

Alfred Stieglitz made hundreds of portraits of Georgia O’Keeffe during their marriage.

Stieglitz was an influential American photographer, gallery owner, and promoter of modern art. He began photographing O’Keeffe in the early 1910s, before their 1924 marriage, and continued making portraits of her for decades. The photographs record changes in her appearance, clothing, pose, and public identity.

Stieglitz’s portraits are not the same as O’Keeffe’s paintings, although the two bodies of work are often discussed together. He also photographed her hands, torso, and face in a way that generated controversy and shaped public perceptions of her. Their relationship connected her to New York’s avant-garde art world while she developed an increasingly independent artistic reputation.
