Ruth Orkin (1921–85) always dreamed of becoming a filmmaker, and although that ambition was thwarted until later in her career, she quickly found other ways of engaging with the world of images. She was given her first camera at the age of ten and by the age of seventeen, she was cycling across America from Los Angeles to New York, documenting her trip in albums of annotated photographs. In the early 1940s she settled in New York, joining the Photo League and making her name with photo stories for major magazines such as Life, Look and This Week. In images that range from celebrity portraits to bird’s-eye views from her apartment window, from children at play to the experiences of a lone American tourist in Italy, Orkin’s photography always retains a cinematic sense of the passage of time and allows the humanity and charisma of her subjects to shine through.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 190mmItem Length: 125mmItem Weight: 240gAuthor: Anne MorinGenre: Arts & PhotographyBook Series: PhotofileISBN-10: 0500411247Type: PhotographersRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
