Toni
Frissell (born Antoinette Frissell Bacon, March 10, 1907 – April 17, 1988) was
and American photographer known for her fashion photographs as well as for
photographing famous figures and for prominently featuring women in her work. While
working at Vogue she wrote captions,
and was eventually fired for poor spelling, but encouraged by her editor to
take up photography, which she did to help her cope amidst much personal strife
with deaths in the family and the breaking off of her engagement. As a
photographer, she was rehired by Vogue
and was one of the first fashion photographers to shoot outdoors, claiming she didn’t
know how to shoot in a studio. She was known for this kind of experimentation
in her work.
