Dorothea Lange

Dorothea Lange is another American documentary photographer that I have an abundance of admiration for. Lange is best known for her documentary style throughout the depression era showing a human side of the tragedy caused.
Lange worked for the Resettlement Agency (RA) a U.S federal government program which relocated struggling urban families to new communities planned by the federal government from 1935 to 1939. Here she was able to document the life of the poor and forgotten through a momentous period in modern day history.
