Tierney Gearon is an American photographer born in 1963 who began her career as a model, taking up photography after a Paris agent saw some of her Polaroids and encouraged her to take them further. She became famous in the UK after a great deal of controversy surrounded her work in the Saatchi Gallery exhibition "I Am A Camera", as it included naked images of her children.

Gearon's most recent exhibition was "Explosure" in the Philips de Pury & Company gallery in London, which contained a series of multiple exposed photographs of varying subjects. Gearon's work is highly influential, and I think that I'll try some of these using my Diana+, obviously they won't come out as crisp and set up as hers, but it's worth a go.
