Lotte Meitner-Graf (1899–1973), born Charlotte Graf, was a noted Austrian black-and-white portrait photographer. She was married to physicist Lise Meitner's brother Walter (1891-1961).
Meitner-Graf moved to England with her family in 1937, opening her own studio at 23 Old Bond Street in London in 1953.[1][2][3][4] Frisch, in his Times obituary, noted that there "can be few educated people who have not seen one of Lotte Meitner-Graf’s photographic portraits, either on a book jacket (for instance, Bertrand Russell’s autobiography, or Antony Hopkins’s Music All Around Me) or on a record sleeve or concert programme."[5]
She photographed Albert Schweitzer, musicians Marion Anderson, Otto Klemperer and Yehudi Menuhin; actors John Gielgud and Danny Kaye; and scientists Lord Blackett, William Lawrence Bragg, Dorothy Hodgkin, and Max Perutz.[5]
