Beautiful nude study \"Balloons\" 1928 by Dorothy Wilding. From a vintage copy of Pictorial Photography of the Royal Photographic Society.Largely self taught Dorothy Wilding began her photographic career as an apprentice to American photographer Marian Neilson before working as a re-toucher for Richard Speight in New Bond Street, opening her first studio in 1914. She was the first woman to be appointed as the Official Royal Photographer for the 1937 Coronation and opened a second studio in New York in the same year. Staggeringly successful she is best known for her brightly lit linear society portraits photographed in high key lighting against a white background. Demand for the ‘Wilding look’ was so great that she employed thirty-seven people. Dorothy Wilding made a fellow of the Royal Photographic
Society of Great Britain in 1930, and was honoured with a solo exhibition at the society that same year. Her surviving archives were presented to the National Portrait Gallery by her sister Mrs Susan Morton 1976 and formed the basis of a major NPG retrospective exhibition and catalogue in 1991, The Pursuit of Perfection.
