Who was Georgia O'Keeffe's husband and an influential photographer?

Alfred Stieglitz was Georgia O'Keeffe's husband and an influential photographer.

Stieglitz first exhibited O'Keeffe's work in 1916 and married her in 1924. He was already a major figure in American photography and had promoted modern art through galleries and publications in New York.

Their relationship strongly influenced O'Keeffe's public career, although she developed an independent artistic identity. Stieglitz photographed O'Keeffe extensively, producing more than 300 portraits and nudes of her over several decades.

The couple remained married until Stieglitz died in 1946. Edward Steichen, Paul Strand, and Man Ray were also important photographers, but none was O'Keeffe's husband. Stieglitz's role was both personal and professional, though O'Keeffe later resisted interpretations that reduced her art to his photographs.
