Olive Cotton
b. 1911
Also known as Olive Edith Cotton
Artist (Photographer)
Olive Cotton's black and white photographs are characterised by their use of light to create ambiguity. For most of her life she was better known for her brief marriage to fellow photographer Max Dupain than for her own considerable achievements.
