Dorothea Lange

Dorothea Lange is a pioneer in photography and a great influencer of modern documentary photography. She is known for her empathy towards her subject matter and for getting out of the studio and taking photographs of real people and places. She is best known for her photographs of the depression and japanese internment.

Her 1936 photograph Migrant Mother, is her most well-known photograph.


Dorothea worked with the Farm Security Administration and is credited for making the struggles of immigrants and poverty-stricken populations to light.
