Bunny Yeager (American, 1929-2014) Bettie Page in a Grove, 1954 Kodak film negative 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 inches (5.7 x 5.7 cm) Numbered '26' in ink in the top margin. From the collection of Grapefruit Moon Gallery A relaxed original 2 ¼ format camera negative of Bettie Page shot in Vizcaya in 1954. Bunny Yeager, a former model turned photographer, had a unique understanding of how to pose and capture women, especially pin-up models. Unlike many male photographers of the time, Yeager collaborated closely with Bettie Page, allowing her to feel empowered, relaxed, and in control. This mutual understanding resulted in photographs that portrayed Bettie with confidence and a natural playfulness, rather than objectifying her.
