Lotte Jacobi, born Johanna Alexandra Jacobi, is best known for her portraiture. She has photographed such people as Albert Einstein, Robert Frost, Eleanor Roosevelt, Alfred Stieglitz, and Edward Steichen. Jacobi immigrated to the United States in 1935 to escape Nazi Germany and maintained her photo studio in New York City until 1955. She is commonly noted for her approach, waiting for her sitters to become very relaxed before releasing the shutter. This often allows Jacobi’s photographs more be seen as more intimate and casual compared to other “stiff” portraiture of the time.
