The reason that I offered that background concerning those three events is because it helps me to explain what Imogen and Twinka at Yosemite were doing socially/culturally and/or politically when Judy Dater created it. The group f/46 helped Dater find her way of expressing her work. She learned how to capture what she wants the world to see through her eyes. She used straight photography to capture the picture of Twinka. The clarity of the portrait helps us see her point of view. Secondly, the feminist movement of the 70s was crucial for Judy Dater to show her work. Without the movement, who knows if her work would even be that famous to this day. Dater was a victim of the sexism at the time. The movement helped artists like her express their work willingly. Her image was already getting hate at the time for being a nude portrait, so the movement normalizing her type of work helped a lot. And finally, the Yosemite national park is where Twinka at Yosemite was taken. The park was special to Dater for her collection of photos she was taking. The vast backgrounds of the park give details about her photos that any other background couldn’t. In her photo, the woman is supposed to picture a nymph. The park was a perfect place to photograph a nymph because they need to be in the wild. Yosemite is such a beautiful place it is almost mystical in a way. It turned out to be the perfect place given the background of this photo.
