About this item

A riveting dual biography of the McLaughlins - identical twin sisters who became groundbreaking photographers in New York during the glamorous magazine golden age of the 1930s and 40s - for fans of Ninth Street Women and The Barbizon. . The McLaughlin twins were trailblazing female photographers, celebrated in their time as stars in their respective fields, but have largely been forgotten since. Here, in Double Click, author Carol Kino provides us with a fascinating window into the golden era of magazine photography and the first young women's publications, bringing these two brilliant women and their remarkable accomplishments to vivid life. Frances was the only female photographer on staff in Condé Nast's photo studio, hired just after Irving Penn, and became known for streetwise, cinema verité-style work, which appeared in the pages of Glamour and Vogue.
