Marie Kinnberg

Last updated • 1 min readFrom Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Marie Kinnberg (1806–30 March 1858) was a pioneering Swedish photographer and painter. In 1851, she learnt how to operate the daguerreotype process and the following year opened a studio in Gothenburg. [1] [2]

Active as a portrait painter, Marie Kinnberg was a student of Bernhard Bendixen and Adolf Meyer, two photographers from Germany, who introduced the then new photographic technique with pictures on paper in Sweden, and gave lessons in this technique during their stay in Gothenburg in the summer of 1851. Marie Kinnberg thus belonged to the pioneers of the new photographic technique in Sweden when she opened her own professional studio in Gothenburg on 8 May 1852. Her study did not last many years, but she was a pioneer both as one of the first to use the new photographic art in Sweden, as well as one of the first women of her profession alongside Brita Sofia Hesselius.

The participation of women in photography goes back to the very origins of the process. Several of the earliest women photographers, most of whom were from Britain or France, were married to male pioneers or had close relationships with their families. It was above all in northern Europe that women first entered the business of photography, opening studios in Denmark, France, Germany, and Sweden from the 1840s, while it was in Britain that women from well-to-do families developed photography as an art in the late 1850s. Not until the 1890s, did the first studios run by women open in New York City.
