MASTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY REFLECTION

Lewis Hine a photographer that share of his working time and helped fight against child labor

for a full decade between 1908 and 1918. I picked this photographer because i only know him because I did a project with about him and he helped save children’s from labor and that’s cool and it wasn’t made for children’s to work at a young age so am proud that he help stop child labor. He even put his life in risk to save those children’s for them to be able to get freedom. And spend his time and had a hard to but go through it saving those children’s out of labor. And he never regretted it and said “I am sure I am right in my choice of work. My child labor photos have already set the authorities to work to see if such things can be possible, They try to get around the issue by crying forgery, but that is the value of the dates and the witnesses”. He visited a great number of children’s workplace’s all over the country throughout 1916 to 1917 and traveled more than 50,000 miles for this purpose. He first gathered information as much as possible and try his best into finding out the living conditions and he described the circumstances under which the children were forced to work. He even used his button jacket to determine the age and height of those children’s.
