Francesca Woodman (born April 3, 1958 in Denver, Colorado, died January 19, 1981 in New York) was, despite her short life, a remarkably influential and important photographic artist. Appearing in most of her photographs, her work concentrated mainly on her own body and her surroundings, and at times the two would seem to merge into one. Woodman often used long-term exposure and double exposure so that she could actively participate in the film's exposure.
