View Point in Photography - Hoe Culture by Dorothea Lange (1936)



This image shows the torso of a workman’s body, not using the head of this person shows that the photographer is only interested in the body language and clothing of the worker. This image really focuses on the hands of the person; they are worn and dirty to connote a long day of grafting. Also the clothes of the worker are ripped and torn suggesting poor health and hard workmanship.
