Dorothea Lange has come to Dickerman Prints
Dorothea Lange (May 26, 1895 – October 11, 1965) was an American documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA). Lange’s photographs influenced the development of documentary photography and humanized the consequences of the Great Depression.[1]
The Oakland Museum of California recently commissioned us to create new prints for their permanent Dorothea Lange collection. As a starting point, the museum sent us high-resolution scans of the original negatives. The rest was up to Seth Dickerman: Master Printer and lab founder.
When I edit these, I imagine that Dorothea Lange is my client. My goal is to use her vision to create something entirely new. … something that she would approve of.
