Photographer details
Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) was a highly acclaimed social realist photographer who recorded one of the most important historical periods in American social history. Her career began in 1916 taking portraits in a studio. During the Depression she changed her career path and started to take pictures of people on the streets of San Francisco. In 1935, she was hired by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) to formally document the Depression, where she established her photojournalistic talent for simultaneously emphasizing the laborer's struggle between dignity and poverty. She also photographed other historic events in America such as Japanese Internment Camps and the 1945 United Nations Conference.
Review
'Lange's work defines an era of destitution and drought, and still resonates even now. This is the perfect introduction to one of the world's greatest photojournalists. Practical Photography 'Lange was the first woman to be awarded the Guggenheim Photography Fellowship and this book showcases her most famous work, an arresting 55-picture, chronologically ordered documentation of the lives of migrant workers during the Great Depression.' The Independent
