Dorothea lange

Dorothea Lange (May 26, 1895 – October 11, 1965) was an influential American documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration. Her photographs humanized the consequences of the Great Depression and influenced the development of documentary photography. Her studies of unemployed and homeless people captured the attention of local photographers and led to her employment with the federal Resettlement Administration (RA), later called the Farm Security Administration (FSA). Lange died of esophageal cancer on October 11, 1965, age 70. In 1972 the Whitney Museum used 27 of Lange's photographs in an exhibit entitled Executive Order 9066. This exhibit highlighted the Japanese Internment during World War II.

Steve McCurry

 Is an American photojournalist best known for his photograph, "Afghan Girl" that originally appeared in National Geographic magazine. His career was launched when, disguised in native garb, he crossed the Pakistan border into rebel-controlled Afghanistan just before the Russian invasion. When he emerged, he had rolls of film sewn into his clothes and images that would be published around the world as among the first to show the conflict there. http://stevemccurry.com/

 

 

 

These are just some of the documentary photographs I took while on holiday in Israel.

I found this opportunity to take pictures great. I couldn’t put down my camera, there was just too much to take in at one. Capturing the beauty, culture and vibe of the place was great. You can see all the energy and excitement of the place in each photograph and hopefully feel a small amount of the place within the photographs. I have hopefully captured the history and culture of the place and made the viewer’s feel as if they were there with me.
