Bunny Yeager is most famous for her work in photography. However, before working behind the camera, Yeager spent years working as a model in Miami. She won numerous awards and beauty pageants, and was one of the most photographed models during her early career. She studied at a school for modeling where she studied the various poses, angles, and other features of pinup calendar art to better understand and perfect her career. Yeager realized, however, that she wouldn’t always be able to continue modeling the way she had been. So, after taking a course on photography, she began taking photographs herself. This quickly took off. After her enrollment in 1953, her photograph of model Maria Stinger became the front cover for Eye magazine in March of 1954. It would be later that same year she met Bettie Page and began photographing her, leading to one of her pictures being the centerfold for the January 1955 issue of Playboy. Bunny Yeager’s experience and education working as a model helped her not only how to shine in front of the camera, but how to create visually exciting and stimulating art that contributed to a meteoric rise in her success in both modeling and camera work.
