Agnes Beatrice Warburg (1872 – 4 January 1953) was a British photographer.

Career

She had been encouraged to take up photography by her brother, John Cimon Warburg (1867–1931), who also worked with colour.

Warburg exhibited at the Linked Ring and at the Royal Photographic Society, where she was a founder-member of the Pictorial and Colour Groups. As a result of her Pictorialist approach, she used photography as an art form rather than for commercial gain. Her results using the Autochrome process were of a remarkably high quality.

Warburg died on 4 January 1953 at her home in Bramley, Surrey, where she had lived for the final seven years of her life. In her will, she gave 70 acres (28 ha) of land on Box Hill to the National Trust.
