Credited as the first woman to produce aerial shots, Bayard Wootten also produced innovative work in her pictures of blacks, rural areas, and people from lower classes.

Abstract:
Men dominated photography in the 19th-century. It was felt the demands of the profession, such as developing, chemical knowledge, and cumbersome equipment, were too arduous for women who were mostly assistants. A few women persisted, including Malvina Ramsour in Lincoln County, Kate Johnson in Durham, and Mrs. H.H. Davisson in Oxford.
