Originally studying painting at Boston
Museum School, Cosindas worked
as a designer from 1944–1960. While
studying with Ansel Adams, she
worked almost exclusively in blackand-white
photography, making
several series of still lifes and architectural
photographs. In 1962, she was
one of about a dozen photographers
who were invited by the Polaroid
Corporation to test their new instant-developing color film. She then began to
work exclusively in color, manipulating various components of the process to
produce warmer tones. Using only available light, she produced a distinct portfolio
of portraits of well-known figures. She later co-founded the Association of
Heliographers, a New York photographers’ cooperative that included some of
the most influential American art photographers of the 1960s. Her solo show at
the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 1966 was the institution’s first to
feature color photography.
