Zaida Ben-Yusuf

Zaida Ben-Yusuf (21 November 1869 – 27 September 1933) was an English-born, New York–based portrait photographer noted for her artistic portraits of wealthy, fashionable, and famous Americans during the turn of the 19th–20th century.

In 1901, The Ladies Home Journal featured her and six other photographers as "The Foremost Women Photographers in America".In 2008, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery mounted an exhibition dedicated solely to Ben-Yusuf's work, re-establishing her as a key figure in the early development of fine art photography.
