After graduating from Vassar College in 1940, McKenna worked independently as an architectural and portrait photographer, making unique yet underappreciated contributions to American modernism and documentary photography. McKenna's work was published in numerous books and magazines, including Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Fortune. The Museum of Modern Arts' 1955 landmark exhibition Latin American Modernism Since 1945 featured her architectural photographs. She made iconic portraits of artists and writers, including W. H. Auden, Elizabeth Bishop, Alexander Calder, Truman Capote, T. S. Eliot, Laura Gilpin, Henry Moore, Sylvia Plath, Ezra Pound, Anne Sexton, Dylan Thomas, and Eudora Welty. McKenna's story as a queer woman would be lost if not for her dedication to preserving her own legacy. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 224 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22 February 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Scala Arts \u0026amp; Heritage Publishers Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaking a Life in Photography: Rollie McKenna\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRosalie (Rollie) Thorne McKenna (1918–2003) was a prolific American photographer whose first career survey is presented in this book.
