dorothea LAnge

Dorothea Lange, March, 1937

Dorothea Lange was a photographer who captured realistic results of the great depression. She did not try to cover up the truth of how it affected individuals but rather enhanced and exposed the reality. In this photograph she captures it to support the formation of migrant camps for people during the great depression.  She was trying to be the voice of the people that didn't speak up to get the relief they deserved. She made an impact socially through her photos such as this one as organizations began to expose her work. This photo specifically has a dark tone to it, capturing the isolation and living conditions of farmers trying to make a living. The house being run down and rugged looking like a dump, portraying how people were just trying to get by. The photo is isolated, it doesn't need people to convey their emotions it is very obvious just by the appearance the conditions individuals of the great depression were trying to live by.
