Summary

Public domain photograph of Dorothea Lange, free to use, no copyright restrictions image - Picryl description

Dorothea Lange was an American documentary photographer and photojournalist, widely recognized for her depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA). Lange's photographs humanized the consequences of the Great Depression and influenced the development of documentary photography. Lange is best known for her photograph "Migrant Mother," which depicts a mother and her children during the Great Depression. Lange's photographs of the period are considered some of the most iconic images of the era.

The FSA (Farm Security Administration) is famous for its well known influential photography program that portrayed the challenges of rural poverty. Creating false perceptions of individuals (A prime example of situational manipulation), photographers were hired to report and document the plight of poor farmers. In 1935–44, eleven photographers would come to work on this project. They were: Arthur Rothstein, Theo Jung, Ben Shahn, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Carl Mydans, Russell Lee, Marion Post Wolcott, Jack Delano, John Vachon, and John Collier. In total, the black-and-white portion of the collection consists of about 175,000 black-and-white film negatives.
