In media we began looking at two well known photographers who took pictures of the depression in America. Dorothea Lange was one of the ladies to take pictures of the depression. She took pictures of people on a daily basis, no posing and only taking photos of less fortunate people. She wanted to draw attention to the lack of life during this depression.
The second person we looked at was Leni Riefenstahl, she took completely different photos from Dorothea. Riefenstahl took photos of Athletes competing in the Olympics in Berlin, Germany.
Both these photographs were not taken seriously at the time, so both women had to face lots of criticism.

Good detail, but with the Lange pictures, she took them of the poor, not the rich. What did you do next?
