Gertrude Kasebier Photography

[The Artist’s Daughter, Hermine, and her Children at Tea]
Artist/Maker:
Gertrude Käsebier (American, 1852 – 1934)

Kasebier’s shot is really interesting to me. I love film photography and seeing the evolution of film. In this picture I really like how nobody is pretending like the camera is there. It helps to create a more natural feel where Kasebier is really observing and documenting the shot. This approach helps provide some insight into this family’s everyday life and routine. I love the cat even getting his serving of tea in the corner!
