Germaine Krull
Bisexual photographer Germaine Krull (1897-1985) was a political activist (communist) from 1918 – 1921. Wikipedia writes that she was “described as “an especially outspoken example” of a group of early 20th-century female photographers who “could lead lives free from convention”, she is best known for photographically-illustrated books such as her 1928 portfolio Métal.”
And we love her for her a portfolio of sensual and sexual encounters between women, which she made in Berlin, which she had made her home in 1922 and 1925 after being expelled from Russia. In 1926 she moved to Paris, where she by 1928 was considered one of the best photographers in Paris. Her photographic work consisted primarily of photojournalism. Alongside her work as a photojournalist she was a hotel owner. After retiring from the hotel business in 1966 she moved to Northern India and converted to the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism. Her final major photographic project was the publication of her book, Tibetans in India (Bombay: Allied Publishers, 1968).
