Portrait of Imogen Meg Partridge always enjoyed Imogen's acerbic wit and quick repartees growing up. But it was not until she was a teenager, when she was working as Imogen's 'spotter,' she began to see the breadth of Imogen's work, and understood Imogen's place in photographic history. Many years later, when Meg was rummaging around in her father's darkroom, she came across eight hours of audiotaped interviews of Imogen that her father had recorded. These interviews, recorded years earlier, became the basis of this film on Imogen Cunningham. With a sharp wit and a unique perspective on photography, Imogen Cunningham reveals how she carved out her impressive career while maintaining a household and raising a family. In a professional career of 75 years, Imogen had an enormous influence on the aesthetics of American photography. Awards and Screenings Academy Award Nomination: Best Documentary Short |

A Visual Life: Dorothea Lange This film is an engaging and penetrating look at a life devoted to photography, profiling the life and work of an artist who recorded some of the most evocative photographic images of the 20th century. Dorothea Lange's artistic achievements and untiring investigations into the diversity of American life and culture are presented through interviews with her sons and assistants. As a member of Lange's extended family, Meg Partridge has known Lange and her children, grandchildren, close friends and associates her entire life. While promoting "Portrait of Imogen" Meg was asked what her next project would be. Almost without thinking, she replied that she would make a film on Dorothea Lange, another photographer in Meg's life that had made a great impression on her. The film started with the transcription of over 36 hours of interviews of Dorothea Lange. These interviews became the backbone of the narrative. The film also includes interviews of Dorothea Lange's photographic assistants, Ron Partridge and Chrissie Gardner, and her sons, John and Dan Dixon. This film is a tribute to both the artist and the woman Meg Partridge loved and admired. The ability to conduct close personal interviews with Dorothea's sons and assistants gives a very personal and candid tone to the entire film. Awards and Screenings Sundance Film Festival |
