Alice Boughton

While photographer Alice Boughton's early life is mostly unknown, after her return to Brooklyn after studying painting in Paris and Rome, Boughton opened up her first studio in 1890. It was at this studio that she worked on portraits of women and children that celebrated motherhood. Below are some examples of her work that show this aspect of motherhood.

Alvin Langdon Coburn

Alvin Langdon Coburn was a 20th century photographer who began taking photos at the young age of eight. When he reached his 20s, Coburn began taking photography more seriously, and opened a studio in New York City to exhibit his work. He later left for London to photograph celebrities, and in 1917 took the first vortographs, a type of new, nonobjective photographs. The photos shown below show Coburn's use of shadows and reflection in his work.
