Photographer Lewis Hine
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing the photography and the social issues addressed by Lewis Hine. Photographer Lewis Wickes Hine (1874-1940) was not only a photographer who achieved a certain artistry within his photographs but also addressed important social issues regarding humanity in the first half of the 20th century. Through his insightful images of the immigrants on Ellis Island at the turn of the century, the child laborers across the country, the devastating human aspects of World War I and the building of the Empire State Building during the Great Depression, Hine managed to open a nation’s eyes to the humanist concerns important within an industrial society which values its luxury but often has little regard for the human price to be paid in the production of such luxury.

Photographic History: The Calotype
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp.) The base of a calotype negative, rather than the glass or film to which we have become accustomed, was high quality writing paper. The sheet of paper was carefully selected to have a smooth and uniform texture and, wherever possible, to avoid the watermark. It was offered as the chief alternative to the Daguerreotype and was more popular with amateur photographers, artists, and scientists, who used it, largely because the negative could be corrected with pencil.
