Master Monday | Dorthea Lange

Written By Jordan H Huntington

Doretha Lange's photographs humanized the consequences of the Great Depression and influenced the development of documentary photography. Lange believed photography was going to save the world. Her husband asked her "What is it going save the world from?"  She declared her camera an appendage and later wrote her experience while photographing people like you and me forced into such difficult times, "It is difficult to photograph a proud man in a background of poverty." 

Below is one of the most influential images in the history of the world taken on a not so special day, during a very difficult time.

Fresh, colorful and contemporary elements are applied to all of my projects. With 10+ years of creative experience, I have produced innovative designs and unique marketing collateral. I create strategic content, push social media platforms and

construct hype that can generate leads. I am detail oriented, work well in or leading groups to achieve success and enjoy a challenge. I adore travel. You will often find me hiking, running, biking, doing yoga or swimming with my pup and camera in tow.
