Hella Hammid (15 July 1921 – 1 May 1992) was an American photographer whose career included teaching at UCLA. Her freelance photographs appeared in diverse publications including Life, Ebony, The Sun and The New York Times. Her softly backlit picture of two young Italian girls dancing, watched by other children in front of the abutments of a stone building, was chosen by Edward Steichen for his 1955 world-touring MoMA exhibition The Family of Man, which was seen by nine million visitors. She also worked with Stephan A. Schwartz on The Alexandria Project, considered to be psychic archaeology.

  • Hella Hammid (15 July 1921 – 1 May 1992) was an American photographer whose career included teaching at UCLA. Her freelance photographs appeared in diverse publications including Life, Ebony, The Sun and The New York Times. Her softly backlit picture of two young Italian girls dancing, watched by other children in front of the abutments of a stone building, was chosen by Edward Steichen for his 1955 world-touring MoMA exhibition The Family of Man, which was seen by nine million visitors. Hammid had a long professional career taking "candid portraits" of children and families for private clients as well as contributing to a number of book projects. Hammid's photographic career is the subject of the book, Hella Hammid: Feminine Fate. One of her most widely circulated images is the Tree Poster, which portrays writer Deena Metzger, a close friend of Hammid's. Hammid was also a remote viewer who worked with Russell Targ and Harold E. Puthoff at SRI International doing work for the CIA. She also worked with Stephan A. Schwartz on The Alexandria Project, considered to be psychic archaeology. Hammid participated in the first Gateway Voyage program offered by Robert Monroe, founder of The Monroe Institute, that was held at the Esalen Institute at Big Sur in 1973. (en)
