Lewis Hine

Lewis Hine


1 Essay.  

  

Lewis Hine was born in 1874 and died 1940. Hine was a teacher during a class project his photography gain notice. After that he became a Photographer with his main focus being on sociological issues he felt needed to be corrected. Hine by his own words was a photo-interpretation photographer because of this and the fact his work was used more for specific agenda he was not a photojournalist.

     Lewis Hine was a photographer for a group known as National Child Labor Committee. This committee was organized to protect children from unfair labor laws and unsafe work environment. Lewis Hines photos gave the drive that the National Child Labor Committee needed to have laws changed. He did this by taking photos of child workers while they were working in their unsafe work environment.

     Hine would often gain access to the factories that he took photos in by means of deception. He would impersonate such roles as a Bible salesman, insurance agent, Industrial photographer and postcard seller. Once he was in one of the factories he would take photos of the children, without the factories management knowing his true intention.

   Thanks to Lewis Hine’s efforts the National Child Labor Committee was able to influence congress enough for a constitutional amendment to be created; The Fair Labor Standards Act was passed in 1938. Shortly after Hine would die with little money to his name.

     I think Hine had a purpose like in most of his work for his efforts to take photos on the skyscrapers during construction. I believe his purpose was to show the extremes of the danger involved in the building of skyscrapers like the empire state building by looking at his work I’d say he got his point ac across. I believe the nature of a man should not be judged by how much wealth he left behind it should be measured in a number of things. Such as how many people he helped or how big a wrong he righted. If you were to measure the life of Lewis Hine with these criteria, you would see him worth he was truly valued at.

2. For myself personally I have somewhat more accustom to how to set the proper exposer for my camera. I knew I needed a slow shutter speed in order to get the blur. Yet I needed it to be no longer than 1 second. after taking a few shots I found that 1/4th second was perfect and adjusted my aperture accordingly to get a good exposure.

2. Discussion

In order to take this photo I used a tripod because I had to use a shutter speed over 1 second and I could not hand hold. The hardest part of this assignment was that my family was unavailable for the shoot because both my parents are recovering form surgery. So they could not attempt what I asked them. The second hardest part of this assignment was after I found willing living subjects I had to direct their movements, in order to capture what was required.

Zoom Portrait with Slow Shutter Speed

1. Zoom Portrait

2. Process

In order to take this Zoom Portrait. I first needed a slow shutter speed while still having a good exposure. I found that the slowest I could go with the lighting at the shoot was. 4 seconds. I then decided to start from the zoom out position. So the photo would have a lager background and the subject would appear to be magnified. I squeezed the shutter button to take the photo and zoomed in pausing briefly 4 times one for each second that past. Since it was such a slow shutter speed it shoud be noted I used a tripod
