United States, 1939

Toni Frissell

Toni Frissell was a successful commercial photographer in the United States at a time when it was difficult for women, especially those with children (Frissell had two daughters), to excel in the domain due to extensive travel and corporate demands. She was renown for pushing the boundaries in her work as this avant-guarde underwater image was one of the first of its kind in the realm of fashion.
