Synopsis

Berenice Abbott initially made her mark in commercial portraiture in Paris and New York. Renowned for capturing the evolving cityscape of New York, she also explored scientific phenomena, Route 1, and Maine through her lens. Abbott's contributions extended beyond photography; she invented photographic equipment and pioneered photographic education.
