Collage

This image was created in response to an assignment to create a collage centered on an artist or artists from the 19th century. All of the images in this collage are of or by the pioneer women in the field of professional photography, including the background image. I worked with the opacity of each image as I brought it in, to maintain the integrity of the torso as canvas. Because photography was limited to black and white at that time, there was no need to work with color adjustment. The text is from an advertisement in the San Francisco Chronicle I found during the course of my research.
