Z życia: Lewis Wickes Hine

Cały życiorys
  1. 1903

    Buys a camera and a magnesium flash gun

    Hine acquires a camera and a magnesium flash gun and, by trial and error, masters his equipment in order to illustrate school life. Other accounts say he began photographing in 1905.

  2. 1907

    Becomes staff photographer of the Russell Sage Foundation

    Hine photographs life in the steel-making districts and the people of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for the influential sociological study The Pittsburgh Survey.

  3. 1908

    Becomes photographer for the National Child Labor Committee

    Inspired by the success of his photographs of immigrants, Hine leaves teaching to become the staff photographer of the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), which launched the first campaign in US history against the exploitation of children in industry. Over the next decade he documents child labor, especially in the Carolina Piedmont, to aid the committee's lobbying to end the practice; Hine himself had worked long hours in a factory as a boy.

  4. 1908–1918

    Gains entry to mills and factories under false guises

    To get into the mills, mines and factories where child labor was hidden from the public, Hine posed as a fire inspector, an insurance agent, a postcard or Bible salesman, a preacher, or even an industrial photographer recording factory machinery. Factory police and foremen often threatened him with violence or even death; travelling the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, he photographed child miners, weavers, dockers, stokers, farmhands and garbage collectors.

  5. 1918–1919

    Travels to Europe with the Red Cross

    In 1918 Hine joins the Red Cross and is sent to France, then to Italy and Greece, photographing the relief work of the American Red Cross in Europe; he returns to New York in 1919.

  6. 3 listopada 1940
