Bunny Yeager, a Miami model and photographer, is best known for working with Bettie Page to transition from New York’s fetish pinup underworld and letting her shine as a naturally beautiful woman. But Yeager's archive, recently purchased and explored by the Grapefruit Moon Gallery in Minneapolis, shows that she was also a pioneer in the use of Black models both African-American and Caribbean beauties. By publishing such photographs as early as the 1950s, she helped shake up the world of fashion photography. Two planned exhibitions and a documentary film about Yeager are currently in the works.
