Little is known about Carla Heinzen’s photography. Born in London to a violinist and a social worker, Heinzen exhibited photographs in American and European exhibitions in the late 1920s and early 1930s under a variety of exotic names, including Karma-Carla Heinzen De Burgeni and Madame H. de B. Karma. Made with the platinum print process that was popular among amateur and art photographers in the 1920s, this sensitive floral study reveals her talent and her familiarity with the leading photographic trends of the day.
