This captivating novel opens in 1917 as Cymbeline Kelley surveys the charred remains of her photography studio, destroyed in a fire started by a woman hired to help take care of the house while Cymbeline pursued her photography career. This tension— between wanting and needing to be two places at once; between domestic duty and ambition; between public and private life; between what’s seen and what’s hidden from view—echoes in the stories of the other seven women in the book. Among them: Amadora Allesbury, who creates a world of color and whimsy in an attempt to recapture the joy lost to WWI; Clara Argento, who finds her voice working alongside socialist revolutionaries in Mexico; Lenny Van Pelt, a gorgeous model who feels more comfortable photographing the deserted towns of the French countryside after WWII than she does at a couture fashion shoot; and Miri Marx, who has traveled the world taking pictures, but also loves her quiet life as a wife and mother in her New York apartment. Crisscrossing the world and a century, Eight Girls Taking Pictures is an affecting meditation on the conflicts women face and the choices they make. These memorable characters seek extraordinary lives through their work, yet they also find meaning and reward in the ordinary tasks of motherhood, marriage, and domesticity. Most of all, this novel is a vivid portrait of women in love—in love with men, other women, children, their careers, beauty, and freedom.

As she did in her bestselling novel How to Make an American Quilt, Whitney Otto offers a finely woven, textured inquiry into the intersecting lives of women. Eight Girls Taking Pictures is her most ambitious book: a bold, immersive, and unforgettable narrative that shows how the art, loves, and lives of the past influence our present.(less)

I confess that I shorten unfamiliar proper nouns when I read a book. I didn't try to phonetically read "Naakkve" each time I come across that name in Kristin Lavransdatter - I just accept it as that block of letters and move on. "Anna Karenina" becomes either "Kareninininina" or "Karena" or "Anna K" while I am reading the pages to myself. I blame third grade speed reading drills.

"Anna Karenina" becomes either "Kareninininina" or "Karena" or "Anna K" while I am reading the pages to myself. I blame third grade speed reading drills.

There were not a lot of unfamiliar proper nouns that I needed to breeze past in Eight Girls Taking Pictures, but there were so many women with an interest in photography that were essentially the exact same woman. After meeting girl #3 or #4, I just accepted that all of their names were interchangeable. That made reading the book better somehow. The parts where their paths crossed or photos by multiple "girls" were exhibited and described together didn't feel that awkward and I was spared trying to think of any distinguishable trait. There were simultaneously more than eight women in this book and just one.

The author knew her stuff (or I assume she did because I verified nothing) about the history of photography in the 20th century. She has a single point of view on women's suffrage, the struggle between work/parenting, art, relationships (regardless of gender), etc. While every (or the only, if you read like me) character grew up in different parts of the world, they were unfazed by their own sexuality and that of all supporting characters; their father was progressive and thought their daughter equal to men; their family was rich and artistic; the infidelity of the boyfriend/husband/love interest was acceptable; the girl was comfortable in her body (all slim; most were also models; not one was modest); there were no negative feelings at all about their children - no resentment, no regret, no pain, no difficulty...

It seems the only reason for having eight girls instead of one was to talk about photography across different time periods without needing to seriously alter age or perspective.

There were a couple of moments of really thought provoking writing. It happened in that one chapter about a girl that liked taking photos. I am sorry I cannot be more specific, in this book, all female photographers read alike.(less)

I enjoyed this book, but some of the stories seemed rushed & misplaced. I also thought that more of the stories were going to intertwine. It only seems like Cymbeline Kelly was a recurring character. One of the stories that I loved left me with so many unanswered questions. I wasn't sure what happened next. Overall it was good, but not the best that I've read.

Whitney Otto has done her homework. Not only does she beautifully capture the history of photography, the details of the art, and the social contexts of her eight ‘girls’ over time, she has provided a thoughtful meditation on the role of women in history as well as the role women play in their own lives. While the struggles remain constant in scope, each of Otto’s photographers approaches her conflicts in a different way, creating a kind of literary canvas for the intersections between life, lov...more

"Eight Girls Taking Pictures: A Novel" is none of the things you might expect from the title. Rather than a novel, it's actually a collection of eight short stories, some novella length.

Rather than a novel, it's actually a collection of eight short stories, some novella length. And while there are eight stories about women photographers, at least one of those stories features two women, so I count at least nine girls taking pictures.

That nitpicking aside, it's a wonderful book. Author Whitney Otto explores the ways women's lives and opportunities changed and the ways they stayed the same over the course of the 20th Century by staggering her stories across many decades. Some of these women marry and happily subordinate their careers to their husbands, some marry and resent men for shining bright while they raise kids maintain the home, some prefer to love other women, some opt never to tie themselves down or to pursue many loves. I found it enlightening to read about ways that women could live independently as artists a full century ago, and the ways women in more recent times have faced old challenges that still abide.

That's not to say this book is preachy or overtly political. Each character is a woman and a photographer, and creative women's lives by necessity are shaped by their relationships and their place in society. But these conflicts are not at the heart of every story.

These women are concerned with advancing photographic technology; with finding new ways to tell stories with pictures; with building their businesses -- as studio artists, or advertisers, or magazine contributors; with traveling and exploring the world; with staying close to homes they love; with surviving in a changing political world that affects other aspects of their identities (one story involves a Jewish bisexual in Germany during Hitler's rise). Some women stay put, others travel extensively. San Francisco, Berlin and London serve as prominent settings, visited time and time again across the decades and through the stories.

And while I say that "Eight Girls Taking Pictures" is not a novel, in the last few stories it takes on some subtle novelistic tones as we watch later photographers react to the work of their predecessors, or even meet those predecessors at certain points. The effect of this book is cumulative. The more I read the more I wanted to keep on reading.

So much of what's targeted at women is light and fluffy that even though I'd heard of Otto's earlier bestseller, "How to Make an American Quilt," I'd always dismissed it as part of a weak genre that is not for me. Now that I've been moved and intellectually stimulated by this author's latest effort, I feel compelled to examine that assumption, and to ask myself what other women's work I've dismissed by letting the worst writing for and about women color my approach to other worthy work.(less)

I enjoyed it, and yet it wasn't what I wanted or expected. It is broken up into 8 "short stories" about women photographers in history, and it is based on real women but fictionalized. I love historical fiction, but this is not that, and I found it frustrating. I found myself wanting to know, needing to know who the real life woman was and then actually scoffed at the changed names to some of the other historical people -- Tin Type instead of Man Ray, Angel instead of Ansel. It was just kinda weird. Often times the stories felt incomplete and truncated and almost hard to follow, though more often it left a feeling of wanting to know more about what happened.
What I did enjoy was reading the stories of women photographers. Their stories were very similar. Most came from a family of means who indulged their daughters creative and independent spirit and study of photography = awesome. All of them also were conflicted with the balance of their art and their relationships with lovers, husbands and children. This is a very real conflict, and yet somehow the telling actually made it so that the different women could be mixed up in the mind, and their stories really did not intertwine. A few references to Cymbeline (the first women we meet) are made throughout, and it comes back to her in the last story -- probably my favorite part. But much of this ends up feeling like a missed connection, or a missed opprotunity to be an even better book.
I think because this hits so close to home, I am more critical than I would otherwise be. I know of Imogene Cunningham, Tini Modotti and Sally Mann, but knew next to nothing about Madame Yevonde and Ruth Orkin, and I can't for the life of me understand why I'm not well versed in Lee Miller. Reading this book has made me rediscover my interested in 20th century women photographers and it has made me go to the library and seek out biographies about Lee Miller and Tina Modotti to get to know more about them, and I think that Whitney Otto would be happy with that outcome.
I wanted so much more from this book, and even though it didn't quite give me what I wanted and I am not in love with it, I still got something that I needed and in a complicated and conflicted way I am happy with that.(less)

This book had lots of potential, I thought ... photography through the ages, across the world, through the female artist's eye ... and it did all this, sure, but really every woman's story was how her life was affected/changed/thwarted/overpowered/distracted/overshadowed, etc. by romantic entanglements with men.

This book was well written, detailed and knowledgeable on the topic of photography and its evolution in the 20th century. Furthermore I was inspired by the way in which this book explored the role of art in the life of the "new woman". The book delves into the idea of what it means to create art as a female. The book explores the criticism placed on work inspired by the domestic, more "every day" sphere in spite of the fact that the times often relegated women to the domestic world. In particula...more

I should have loved this book: I studied photography and art history. I just couldn't get into it. It felt less like a novel and more like a college student's first attempt at a collection of historical short stories. Facts about whatever areas/periods were being covered were thrown in, often interrupting the flow of prose and creating a sense the author was trying to show off her breadth of research. Good historical fiction writers weave the facts in so they color the story, not footnote it. Th...more

I was interested to read a piece of literature written by her and see for myself what all the fuss was about. Recently, a good friend of mine was assigned a book by Whitney Otto for a college class and she did say that it was hard for her to get into, but that once she did she found herself enjoying it. I can say the same about this book; it did take me awhile to start getting interested in what I was reading but I won’t completely throw the book under the bus. There were parts that I loved and adored, and others not so much. I am such a fan of multiple female perspectives in a novel, being the feminist that I am, so that was definitely one of my favorite parts.

I loved the take on photography and all the different women, whose lives somehow revolved around the art and perfection that is photography. This was such a rare and interesting topic to read about, and Whitney Otto definitely knew what she was talking about, or at least she had done her research on the matter. I was so caught up in the scenes that spoke to or about their careers, and I feel like I am all the more educated because of it. It really was interesting to be in the minds of these women who are artists, and really get a feel for their world. I have always been intrigued by photography and would love to practice it myself some day. If photography is a hobby of yours, or you just simply enjoy practicing it, then you may enjoy this book more than others.

The writing was beautiful and often lyrical at times, but this became redundant after awhile and I found myself wishing that things would pick up the pace. I feel like a good word to describe this book would be strange, but not in a bad way. The stories here and the writing style are not going to be for everyone because the language is so colossal and really takes time to wrap your head around through different points in the story. Many people think that they shouldn’t have to think so hard about what is happening while they are pleasure reading. I just found myself wanting to reach the climax at times, and wanting to move past long, drawn out details.

I was expecting a lot more than I got out of this novel. I did not connect with all of the female characters, and I wasn’t expecting to. I did enjoy photography over time and how each woman had a different perspective on her experiences with photography, but I didn’t necessarily feel connected to any of them. This is not to say that I didn’t enjoy their stories; I just would have liked to feel more connected and involved in their lives. Overall I feel that this was a challenging story to write and I did enjoy parts of it, but I don’t think I would ever re-read it.

I very rarely choose not to finish a book, but in the case of "Eight Girls Taking Pictures", about half way through the book I decided not to waste any more of my time on it.

The stories take place at different times, with some overlap (late 1900's, 1920's, '30s, '50's, 1980's, so that some characters actually meet, while others discover earlier photographer's work while pursuing their own.

With that said, here's my review...

I loved the feminist aspect of the stories, that they were based on real photographers, and the vignette/short storytelliing style. It was reminiscent of the Emma Donoghue collection, Astray. That said, I think Donoghue did a more masterful job with historical material. While I enjoyed Otto's stories, I found ti hard to distinguish between the different women. They seemed so similar as to be indistinguishable. But still I cannot help but get behind any book with such a strong feminist focus.

I don't care much for short stories, as a genre, and as it turns out, that's what this really is. A collection of stories on a related theme. After the fourth section, when I realized there was no weaving together of these eight girls, I checked out. Also, found it a bit uneven, with some characters much more hurried and sketched in than others. If you really love photography and want to know more about how women contributed, worth a read.

Although this is not the best book I've ever read, it was one of the most interesting. In short-story fashion, the author compiles the life of each of eight girls/women, all of whom are photographers struggling with acceptance in society, relationships and their rights as women in the early-to-mid 20th century. In places, their stories coincide, as they meet one another, often by chance.
