Inge Morath (1923–2002) was an Austrian-born American photojournalist and writer who became one of the first female photographers admitted to the prestigious Magnum Photos agency. Raised in Graz and Berlin, Morath studied languages and originally worked as a journalist and editor in post-WWII Paris, collaborating with Ernst Haas and Robert Capa before picking up a camera herself in 1951. Joining Magnum as an associate editor and subsequently becoming a full member in 1955, she gained international acclaim for her humanist photojournalism, insightful portraiture, and keen literary eye—often photographing subjects in Spain, Iran, Russia, and China while fluent in their native languages. Beyond her extensive documentary work for publications like Life and Paris Match, she collaborated with illustrator Saul Steinberg on his whimsical "Mask" series, worked as a film set photographer on productions such as The Misfits—where she met her future husband, playwright Arthur Miller—and produced numerous photo essays and books that highlighted her deep empathy, cultural erudition, and subtle mastery of light and composition.
Inge Morath, excerpt from bio from Inge Morath Foundation: "A friend of photographer Ernst Haas, she wrote articles to accompany his photographs and was invited by Robert Capa and Haas to Paris to join the newly founded Magnum agency as an editor. She began photographing in London in 1951, and assisted Henri Cartier-Bresson as a researcher in 1953-54. In 1955, after working for two years as a photographer, she became a Magnum member."
