Quiz #10

Today's challenge is to identify photographers from portraits of their immediate relatives. For example, if I showed you the photo below with the clue Wife


the correct answer would be Harry Callahan, since the photograph is of his wife Eleanor.

Below are twelve such photographs showing close family relatives of prominent photographers. I've chosen a mix of blood relatives (who might be identified by facial features) and relatives by marriage, and a mix of well-known images and lesser known ones. Many of them were taken by the photographers themselves, in which case I've cropped the photo to disguise their style. Some are by unknown sources.

As always, the first complete set of correct answers (or in the case of group contributions, the last clue correctly identified) wins a free print. Good luck.

1. Daughter


2. Sister


3. Brother


4. Father


5. Wife and daughter


6. Mother


7. Mother


8. Wife


9. Grandparents


10. Son-in-law


11. Father-in-law


12. Mother

Good job, Robert. That's seven and counting. Fazal Sheik is not correct for #5. The rest are right.
