Who photographed Georgia O'Keeffe in a famous portrait series beginning in 1918?

Alfred Stieglitz photographed Georgia O'Keeffe in a famous portrait series beginning in 1918.

Alfred Stieglitz, the influential photographer and modern-art promoter, made hundreds of photographs of O'Keeffe over many years. Their relationship began after Stieglitz saw her abstract drawings at his New York gallery, 291. He exhibited her work in 1916, initially without her permission, and the episode began a long professional and personal connection.

Stieglitz's photographs presented O'Keeffe in many forms, including portraits, studies of her hands, and nude images. He showed the photographs at his gallery and helped establish her public identity as a modern artist. The series is important both as a record of their relationship and as a landmark in the history of photographic portraiture.

Stieglitz and O'Keeffe married in 1924. Their marriage lasted until his death in 1946, although they spent substantial periods apart. O'Keeffe later became determined to control how her own work and biography were interpreted, rather than allowing Stieglitz’s photographs to define her entirely.
