Dorothea Lange

Dorothea Lange is another social realist potographer who was commissioned as a photographer to create propaganda images to do with farming in america in 1935. Her images focus a lot on anguish, often in women and children, making them quite distressing, and thus effective in their purpose. I feel that these images are quite gritty, and this makes them get to the point. The fact theyre also in black and white also enhances the emotion with the contrast and lighting used.
