“Theo Westenberger, whose versatility with portraits and travel images won her recognition as a top magazine and advertising photographer, has died.
Westenberger died Thursday at her home in New York after a four-year battle with lung cancer, according to Colleen Keegan, a friend and her artistic executor. She was 57.
Westenberger continued to work until about four months ago, when she completed her last assignment for Architectural Digest, Keegan says.
Westenberger studied at Dartmouth College, earned an MFA from the Pratt Institute and began her photo career working in the studio of advertising photographer David Langley. She later took a job as a junior photographer at Look magazine. “
