Dorothea Lange was an American photographer whose documentary practice defined the visual language of social reportage in the twentieth century. Working primarily in black-and-white photography, she created unflinching portraits of rural poverty, labor, and displacement, most notably during the Great Depression as a photographer for the Farm Security Administration. Her formal precision, psychological intensity, and ethical commitment to the dignity of her subjects established a foundational model for socially engaged photography. Her work remains central to the American photographic canon.
