Lewis Hine
Lewis Hine was magical. He is probably my favorite famous photographer. The camera for him was more than an instrument for a hobby or art form. It was the workings for a social movement.n 1907, he became the photographer for the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC). Over the next decade, Hine documented child labor in American industry to aid the NCLC's lobbying efforts to end the practice. Between 1906 and 1908, he was a freelance photographer for The Survey, a leading social reform magazine. He took all these pictures to show the country the cruelties of child labor. He changed the way factories hired. I wish and long to capture human eyes and souls the way Lewis Hine did. Every photo brought to life something dead to the rest of the world. The nakedness of his film is beautiful. So many would be frightened to do what Lewis Hine did, but he took chances and changed the world with his photos. I took these photo from a book on Lewis Hine. Sorry for the quality.
