Dorothea Lange Writing

Social Documentary/ Concerned Photography: recording how the world looks using the environment or society as the main focus.

  • Using photos to tell a story using the environment and society as the main subject of the story.

Compassionate Photography: something that captures the concern or suffering of others. It can also show care, empathy, and consideration.

  • A photo that shows compassion for others by showing the struggles people can have.

Lange seemed to really care about the social trials of what was going on. I learned that not only do photos tell a story, but they can be used to tell different perspectives and bring attention to the trials of what is really going on in the world around us. Dorothea Lange captured so many moments like this to show people what they were living through.
