Naomi Savage studied photography with Berenice Abbott at the New School for Social Research in 1943, and studied art at Bennington College from 1944-47. Her exploration of innovative techniques was influenced by an apprenticeship with Man Ray, her uncle, which evolved further under experimentation with alternative photographic, mechanical, and electronic processes throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Her approach concerned "process as medium" and an interest in art as image manipulation. She combined media-collage, negative images, texture screening, multiple exposure, photograms, solarization, toning and printing on metallic foils. Her work includes a variety of subject matter and imagery such as portraits, landscapes, human figures, mannequins, masks, toys, kitchen utensils, etc..
