The first photo shoot occurred on a cool December day, a few weeks after Frida had arrived in San Francisco. But the photographs of Frida that stand out from her stay in San Francisco were taken by two professional photographers, Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham. The calculated image she projected for the camera was intended to shake things up, and the photos she sent her parents, sometimes with inscriptions, were meant to reaffirm her place within the family. When Frida was in San Francisco she continued this photographic tradition. Frida Kahlo, like her father, used photographic images-often with written words accompanying them-much the way she used painted images: as a repository for her profound and sincere emotions and ideas.
