Dorothea Lange - research and inspiration

I am inspired by photographs like this one as it not only captures feeling and emotion but also by showing a bit of the background it gives the photograph more detail of the environment in which it was captured - definitely something I would take into consideration for future work.

Dorothea Lange (1895-1965)

Dorothea Lange photographed the unemployed men who wandered the streets during the great depression. Her photographs of migrant workers were often shown with captions that featured the words from the workers themselves. Dorothea Lange died from esophageal cancer in 1965.
