Vivian Maier, Američanka, "street photographer", narodila se v NYC ale vyrostla ve Francii. Po návratu do Ameriky pracovala jako pěstounka v Chicagu. Po tuto dobu nafotila něco kolem 100,000 fotografií. Její fotky zůstali neobjeveny až do roku 2007, kdy je našel historik John Maloof. Zemrěla v roku 2009 a její první sólo vystava probíhá až teď, po její smrti v Chicagu..Připravuje se o ní knížka, která by měla být vydána na podzim 2011 a taky film v roku 2012..
