She probably didn't even know she was good at it. She just kept doing it. With out any acknowledgment from anybody.

The film reveals that she very much did know she was a good photographer. She worked very close with printers on achieving exactly the look, and print that she envisioned. She also wrote a letter to a print shop in France stating that she wanted to get in to business together by selling her prints.

I finally got around to watching the documentary this evening, she was very creative...but extremely dark and damaged as human. A really good doc.
