◉ like others, documented American work life, but Hine was
especially conscious of composition and the power it had to draw
the attention of the viewer. With this added interest, he was able to
use his photographs to help persuade law makers to address child
labor laws. Up until then, children had been working in unhealthy
and unsafe circumstances, without consequences for the employers..
Answer: Lewis Hine (1874-1940)
,◉ one of the most influential artists in photography history,
promoted the acceptance of photography as art early on by
gathering photographers to exhibit their own work. Eventually went
on to curate the infamous photography exhibit called "The Family of
Man" , which was seen by 9 million people. All but a few of the
photographers listed in this timeline contributed photographs to
that monumental exhibit, which displayed all different walks of life
and human experiences from around the world.. Answer: Edward
Steichen (1879-1973)
◉ focused completely on the elements and principles of design. He
found beauty through perspective and lighting of mundane objects -
peppers, sand dunes, toilets, seashells, and cabbage; just to name a

to compositional aspects of photography, and placing less
importance on the actual subject or object being photographed..
Answer: Edward Weston (1886-1958)
◉ one of the most diverse and prolific photographers to date. He
photographed portraits, fashion, and all sorts of still lifes. The
arrangment of elements in the frame and his attention to careful

2009)
, ◉ like Lewis Hine, used her photographic skill to document and
illustrate challenging circumstances that people were facing in her
time. Her photo title, "Migrant Mother" captured a poor family
afflicted by the dust bowl, and helped other Americans have a
glimpse of the struggles and distress that many farmers faced. Her
photos from the time of the Great Depression also helped bring a
new light to the power of well composed documentary and
photojournalistic photography.. Answer: Dorothea Lange (1895-
1965)
◉ One of the most well-known photographers in art history,
travelled the great west with his large format camera, creating
portraits of the majestic terrain - finding the perfect perspective and
waiting for just the right light to illustrate the grandeur of nature's
beauty. He also employed darkroom techniques to manipulate his
photos to bring out certain elements of his images, balancing each
detail.. Answer: Ansel Adams (1902-1984)
◉ most well known for his capturing of "The Decisive Moment". As a
photojournalist, he found himself in the right place, and the right
time, capturing fleeting moments. This was possible because of his
small Lecia 35mm rangefinder camera, which allowed him to always
have his camera with him, ready to take a photo at a moment's
notice.. Answer: Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004)
◉ a pioneer in bringing home photojournalism of war with
impactful images that demystified the experiences of soldiers and
