Imogen Cunningham
This photo in particular of Imogen's work strikes me as interesting because of the way that two images have been layered on top of one another. Each alone, would not be especially of note, but by layering them, it gives the lace an extra sense of depth while adding an air of mystery and texture to the portrait. The combined effect is intriguing and I find that I can look at this for a long time, when I might have only glanced at the single images, as each image hides part of the other as your eyes are drawn between the two. The longer you look, the more detail you find in the lace, and the beauty and (I think) sadness in the expression on the face of the portrait.
