Berenice Abbott was a portrait, documentary and science photographer throughout her life
She worked with Man Ray, Jacques Cocteau, James Joyce, Max Ernst and Edna St. Vincent Millay - whether she photographed them or aided their careers
Her interest in Eugene Atget's work led her to a project where she captured New York being modernised
'Abbott favoured a straightforward, yet dynamic, style that featured strong contrasts and dramatic angles.'
