Lewis Hine was one of the great documentary photographers of the 20th century. He is most well known for his photographs of immigrants arriving in America and for his work documenting child labor during the Progressive Era.
Hine was an artist and social reformer as the photograph to the right will show. The power of his images stepped beyond the boundaries of simply documenting his subjects to a place where subject, composition and style merged into an image that captured moments and moods.
