this may be an odd request, but some day during the last few weeks , I think it may have been jerrryc42, posted a link to a woman photographer( not a current photographer - antiques) who took very "grungy" looking pix - mainly headshots. I don't remember the artists name. does anyone know who I'm talking about?

Was it Vivian Maieir, a street photographer who was a nanny. She was not discovered until after her death when a person bought her prints and negatives and unexposed film at an action.

I don't think that any of the female photoraphers that i have found, (vivian mairie, mary ellen mark, diane arbus and dorethea lange) are this woman., of course I could be wrong, but the pictures that I saw looked almost like daguerreotype. just faces lined up on square ragged frames.
My try at copying:

The glasses don't look that "antique". Maybe someone who played with wet plate.

That is because that is my photo, trying to approximate the ones that this person took.

I don’t recall Vivian Maier doing headshots. I watched the documentary movie about her.
