Dorothea Lange

Written By Guest User

Upon looking through our calendar today, we discovered that it was the birthday of Dorothea Lange. Most famous for her photograph Migrant Mother, Dorothea was a photojournalist commissioned by government organisations often shooting for political reasons. She documented the effects of the depression era on America and gave a human face to the struggle.
