Margaret Bourke-White; June 14, 1904 – August 27, 1971) was an American photographer and documentary photographer. She is best known as the first foreign photographer permitted to take pictures ofSoviet industry, the firsthand American female war photojournalist, and the first female photographer for Henry Luce's Life magazine, where her photograph appeared on the first cover. She died of Parkinson's disease about eighteen years after she developed her first symptoms.



This picture does a great job of including several iconic images. It includes the Coca Cola logo and old post logo and a giant Hot Dogs logo. I really love this picture and it perfectly sums up Margaret as a photographer.



This image is another example of Margaret adding people with iconic images in the background I really like the way the people are lined up in relation to the phrase There's no way like the American Way and the facial expressions used by the people in the image.

This is a very dramatic image the person is placed perfectly to show the sorrow which makes this a very powerful image.

I had a hard time trying to come up with the words to describe this image. The choice of lighting makes the man really stand out compared to the dark images surrounding him.

I also really liked the lighting and shadows used in this image and how they contrast each other it really makes the child and the barbed wire pop out from the background.
