He is the son of Imogen Cunningham, an apprentice to Ansel Adams, and protégé of Dorothea Lange. While all three famous photographers influenced him, Partridge's work is unique in its own right and is celebrated in the exhibition "From the Byways to the Highways: Rondal Partridge Photographs California 1936-1969."
