Bunny Yeager
Bunny Yeager was an American photographer and former pin-up model. Born Linnea Eleanor Yeager in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1929, Yeager became one of the most photographed models in Miami.
After retiring from modeling, Yeager began her career behind the camera. She met Bettie Page in 1954 and took most of the photographs of her that year. Along with photographer Irving Klaw, Yeager played a role in helping to make Page famous, particularly with her photos in Playboy magazine. Yeager is also credited with discovering the model Lisa Winters.
Following Page's retirement, Yeager remained a successful photographer. She took the well-known still images of Ursula Andress on the beach in the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No and discovered many other notable models. In 1968 she played the role of a Swedish masseuse opposite Frank Sinatra in Lady In Cement. Yeager was played by Sarah Paulson in the 2005 film The Notorious Bettie Page. She was also featured on a CNN story about the 60th anniversary of the bikini.
In the 1950s Yeager appeared on America's number one game show, What's My Line?, and she stumped the panel. In 2005, Cult Epics released the DVD 100 Girls by Bunny Yeager, a documentary with behind-the-scenes footage of Yeager's photo sessions with Page and other pin-up models.
In early 2010, the Warhol Museum held the first exhibition of Bunny's work. Most of the photographs in the exhibit came from Bunny's book How I Photograph Myself published by A.S. Barnes & Co. in 1964. In 2011, Gallery Schuster (Berlin/Miami) became the official representative of Yeager's photographic artwork.
In November 2011, the Dezer Schauhalle in Miami FL hosted a retrospective exhibition of Yeager's work. Included were some never-before-seen photos of various models including the late Bettie Page. In 2012 the German Fashion Company bruno banani launched their new fashion Line " Bunny Yeager" and opened, together with Gallery Schuster, a permanent Bunny Yeager Lounge in Berlin.

- B/W Photograph of Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra by Frank Stewart, 'The Bow'Located in White Plains, NY'The Bow' by American photographer Frank Stewart, 1997. Pigment print, 30 x 40 inches. This photograph features the group Jazz at Lincoln Center bowing in unison after a concert in Modena, Italy. Wynton Marsalis is one of the central figures in the photo. Unframed. For the past three decades, Stewart has served as senior staff photographer at Jazz at Lincoln Center, where Marsalis leads the orchestra and serves as artistic director. His jazz photographs highlight an intimate association with their subjects, that enables him to portray situations off-stage that otherwise would remain unknown to most of us. He works with film and digitally, using no artificial illumination other than stage lighting, and the prints employ subtle tones of black, grey, and white. Viewers are able to connect with the emotional range of the musicians and vocalists depicted and to grasp the deeply understood parallels between Stewart's vivid photographic forms and spaces, and the dramatic sounds and silences of jazz music. Frank Stewart initiated his career in jazz photography traveling with Ahmad Jamal and his group shortly after receiving a degree in photography from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art (1975). Stewart's focus on jazz was solidified from 1989-92 when he accompanied the Wynton Marsalis Septet. In the intervening years, Stewart had worked independently in clubs and at jazz events primarily in New York and Chicago. In 1992, he became the lead photographer for Jazz at Lincoln Center, traveling the globe with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Born 1949 in Nashville, Tenn., Stewart was raised in Memphis and Chicago and has spent his entire career based in New York. His practice is centered around African American culture and the black experience throughout the diaspora. His roots in the segregated South, life-long love of music, and studies with Roy DeCarava...Category
