- Biography
- Internationally acclaimed performing arts photographer Martha Swope was born in Waco, Texas, and is a graduate of Baylor University. She came to New York to attend the School of American Ballet. Swope's career as the performance photographer of record began when her classmate, Jerome Robbins, asked her to photograph rehearsals of the show on which he was working, West Side Story, in 1957. Although self-taught, for almost four decades (circa 1957-circa 1994), she created iconic images of theater and dance that communicated the essence and artistry of the performer and the work. Swope lives in New York City.
