Lewis Hine — Photography as Reform

008.2 Lesson 02 of 08 3 quiz questions 1 assignment

Lewis Hine was a sociologist, not a photographer by training. He picked up a camera because words were not enough. The conditions he had set out to document — children working in cotton mills, coal mines, and factories across the United States — were conditions that the public either did not know about or preferred to ignore. Photography, he understood, could reach people that reports and statistics could not.
