"so much of photography is made not just captured" - This is so very true. I've read that Lange would set up her camera on a tripod pointing in a specific direction, knowing that when people would show up with curiosity in their hearts she would engage with them and then capture them in a seperate predetermined direction (with the background she wanted) but the "prop" camera was only there to as a decoy so when she pulled out her second camera the subjects would already be at ease....she was a master at encouraging people to show themselves....so difficult when most of us spend the majority of our lives acting.

In the late 1990's I owned the camera she's holding at the end of the video. In fact I owned several variations of the Graflex SLR. Depending on the model, they shot roll or sheet film in 120mm, 4x5, and the rarest I had which shot 5x7 sheet film. Amazing portrait cameras.

In an era with many brilliant photographers, she really stands out. While one can talk about propaganda, she did what the FSA needed--show the US public that these programs had a reason, purpose and goal. In the process of doing that she created "documentary art". I wish the government had been more open in allowing her access to the Japanese interment (concentration) camps during the war. It would have been interesting to have her perspective on the camps and the people and juxtapose it to the Japanese-Americans who volunteered to fight for the country who had their families interred. One of the most decorated units in the US Army was a Japanese-American unit. Would have been nice to show those medals and honors against the lives of their families in the camps. We need this now because we are creating the same environment for hispanic immigrants in the Southwest. She was brilliant and your video does a great job selecting from her work.

@@TatianaHopper Yes, I saw that video. Indeed because of it I purchased the book that contained the photographs that she took in the camps. Some are really great but they all lack the brilliance of the FSA photos. Of course, as you described and is published in the books, she was forbidden access to many if not most things. It is unfortunate for us.

@TatianaHopper

Жыл бұрын

@@erichstocker8358 yes and that book only has a fraction of her work made on the camps and I possibly she might’ve been given orders to be objective since Japanese were considered enemies so I assume her employers / government wouldn’t want to portray them in a relatable way. Who knows, interesting times and one can only speculate.

You make great video essays, keep up the great work. I'll give you one piece of advice as a photographer and audio professional. Turn down or don't use the sound effect you're using for the years. Its very loud especially in the bass regions. Could hurt some folks systems if they are listening with a sub-woofer. I listened on Neumann NDH-30 headphones which I'd recommend for anyone doing audio and video in an environment where they can't use full range speakers in a treated room. Cheers, bcgood

Possibly but I don’t think it would be on a major level like the FSA, I studied that period and I remember my teacher saying that in part the FSA was needed due to the immense size of the USA and that given the distances you needed weeks and months to cover an entire country as opposed to I suspect other countries like England or France. Although I definitely think photographers must’ve covered the Great Depression for newspapers and local governments within their countries. Will need to investigate more, thanks Jim!

A fascinating contemporary of Dorothea Lange, Paul Sanders etc is a French photographer Pierre Fatumbi Verger who took some fascinating and gorgeous photographs of African Americans in 1934 and 1937, particularly in Harlem, that appeared in France-Soir. He delved into the lives of African Americans documenting their plight and struggles of racism, marginalisation - yet somehow managed to show in a dignified manner their complex and rich cultural identity.

Wonderfully poignant, great work at always.
