Francesca Stern Woodman was an American photographer best known for her black and white pictures featuring either herself or female models. Many of her photographs show women, naked or clothed, blurred, merging with their surroundings, or whose faces are obscured.

She was born April 3rd in 1958, in Denver, Colorado and died January 19th, 1981 at just 22 after taking her own life, this makes her art work not only more upsetting but also incredible impactful.

Art enthusiasts are inthralled with Woodman’s work and are convinced thats all of her work, self portrait or otherwise was in representation of her mind and experiences.

Woodman didn’t have many years of photography under her belt and most of her work was done as a student, despite this she was clearly one of the most promising artists of her time in both her innovation and her talent.
