the other magazines. Richard Avedon's portraits were an important and powerful example in her life. She learned that
she could work for magazines and still create personal work, which for her was the most important. She sought
intimate moments with her subjects, who "open their hearts and souls and lives to you." She was awarded The Royal
Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship in recognition of a sustained, significant
contribution to the art of photography in 2009. Photographers such as Robert Frank and Henri Cartier-Bresson
