I am writing up some research for a project and I wondered if anyone knew the names of any famous photographers who did self portraits. I know there was a famous lady some time ago. I would appreciate any help.


Thanksx

Annie Leibovitz did some on occasion.  But it wasn't about her.  They were more like spontaneous shots of herself.

You can google the others.

Samaras rocks!  Samaras had a retrospective at the Whitney last year.  His manipulated polaroids never cease to amaze me.

Bunny Yeager is a 1950's pin-up photographer who did a lot of self portraits. I like her photos a lot.
