Timeline
Kathryn Abbe (September 22, 1919 – January 18, 2014) was an American photographer.
Kathryn Abbe was born Kathryn McLaughlin in 1919, in Brooklyn.
They were raised in Wallingford, Connecticut, and were the valedictorian and salutatorian of their graduating class at Lyman Hall High School.
She also attended the New School for Social Research from 1939 until 1941, where she studied under Yasuo Kuniyoshi.
Although in the 1940s she photographed New England and Brooklyn extensively, by the mid-1940s her assignments took her around the world, notably to Paris, Havana, New York, Rome and Milan.
Her subjects often included fashion icons, entertainment personalities, children, street vignettes, and artists.
Her work was published in over eighty books and international periodicals, among them, Better Homes and Gardens, McCall's, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Paris Match, and Vogue.
She was awarded more than twenty major magazine covers – a rare achievement for a female photographer of her time.

Abbe won Vogue magazine's Prix de Paris photography award in 1941.
By 1942, she was working for Vogue under Toni Frissell; she left the magazine and became a professional freelance photographer in 1944 – one of few women to hold the position at the time.
In 1946, she married photographer James Abbe Jr., the son of the Hollywood photographer James Abbe.
The couple had three children.
A co-author of three books, Stars of the Twenties Observed by James Abbe (1974), Twins on Twins, (with her twin sister, 1980), and Twin Lives in Photography (2011), Abbe lectured extensively and appeared on many television programs, among them, the Dick Cavett Show.
A 2000 documentary, Twin Lenses, was produced about the lives and careers of Kathryn Abbe and Frances McLaughlin–Gill.
