Photo-Secession

By the end of the 19^th century, many Americans wished to break away from traditional photography because they felt it was no longer interesting. In 1902, a group of photographers led by Alfred Stieglitz formed the Photo-Secession with these ideas in mind. They believed that the artist’s manipulation of the photograph was more important than the image itself. The movement lasted about 10 years, raising the standards and increasing overall awareness of photography.This is one of Alfred Stieglitz's photographs. He was the founder of the Photo-Secession movement and manipulated his works to create eerie images.

Above is one of Edward Steichen's photographs taken during the Photo-Secession movement. Steichen was the most featured photographer in Alfred Stieglitz' magazine Camera Work and co-opened the "Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession" with Stieglitz as well.

This is a photography by Gertrude Käsebier, an American photographer of the early 20th century and a founding member of the Photo-Secession. She was mainly recognized for her images of motherhood, which were found in the Photo-Secession magazine and galleries. Also, she encouraged more women to take careers in photography.
