She became known at one point in her career as “The World’s Prettiest Photographer.” But the accomplishments of Bunny Yeager — the Miami Beach artist, model, feminist pioneer and icon — can’t be summed up with one simple, reductive label.
“Naked Ambition,” the exhilarating new documentary by South Florida-based co-directors Dennis Scholl and Kareem Tabsch, explores the life and work of Yeager, a married mother of two who began her career as a model, then progressed to walking up to random women and asking them to pose for her.
Her snaps — as well as the photos in which she appeared — combined a virginal view of domestic goddesses who were also wellsprings of teenage rebellion. They also accomplished everything from popularizing bikinis to creating the idea of the modern-day selfie.
