Biography
Biography
Her images have appeared in galleries, books, on CDs, postcards, greeting cards, posters, and in advertising. For many years, Francesconi was the only publisher of a fine-art calendar aimed at lesbians. Her yearly calendar remains a top-seller to this day. Her first book, Stolen Moments, was published in 1997. According to photographer Tee Corinne, the work of Francesconi "appeal[s] to those whom Barbara Grier named 'garden variety' lesbians, women making homes together, holding down jobs, not, in general, defining themselves as radical". Majority of her portrait subjects are "white, slender, able-bodied, and young". Her photographs are set against neutral background lit by studio lighting.
