Which master of American photography is this? The answer surprised me….
Given that you said you’re surprised, I’m guessing someone whose usual style is very, very different from this (and who I’ve only seen pictured as an older man): Ansel Adams.
Maybe it’s Edward Weston. I have a 100% guess the subject rate today, this could change….
isn’t he Stieglitz?
I think that may be the old master Disfarmer.
That would be Mr. Edward Steichen, 1898. Please let me know where to claim my cash prize.
Steichen is correct! Mr. Bowie wins our endless respect and adoration!
This is a beautiful self-portrait. Check out more self-portraits, one of which is also from Steichen (#18): http://selfportraitgallery.blogspot.com/
