Thanks. Copac says that she's one of three photographers of that one book. I get the impression that she was a keen and unusually good amateur photographer but not one of particular note. (NB I've nothing against amateur photographers, or even rather obscure ones; I thus created for example Akira Toriyama (ophthalmologist).) I'd be delighted to be proved wrong; but if I'm not proved wrong, I think the "photographer" categorization should go. -- Hoary (talk) 23:34, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

I have not found anything else and accept much of what you say. The other point of view would be that she is listed as a photographer at photog obits and it is shown as her career in the Independent and The Guardian, thereby meeting verifiability and multiple independant reliable sources.

To me, those two obituaries serve to show that she was a keen amateur photographer to the point where this merits a mention in her article here, but not to the point where she should be listed in WP as a photographer. However, even if I'm entirely right the sky's not going to fall if she's listed for a few weeks. Let's first take a few days, or even longer, to see any evidence that she's produced anything else. -- Hoary (talk) 01:24, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
