Anne Noggle

This image from early in the career of the accomplished portrait photographer Mariana Cook shows her practicing her skills on another well-known portrait photographer, Anne Noggle. Cook says she took the picture while participating in the Ansel Adams Workshops in Yosemite in June of 1979, which Adams had instructed her to attend. In addition to Noggle, Cook also photographed the other teachers, including John Sexton, Al Halberstadt, Al Weber, and Barbara Crane, but Noggle’s portrait must have been the best as it is the only one the artist chose to print.
