A PBS profile of Dorothea Lange, the photographer behind some of the most iconic images of the Great Depression and Dust Bowl, is set to air later this month. American Masters – Dorothea Lange: Grab a Hunk of Lightning will premiere on PBS stations Friday August 29th from 9-11pm. The documentary, directed and narrated by Lange’s granddaughter Dyanna Taylor, features newly discovered interviews with the photographer, remembrances from family and friends, as well as a look into her career retrospective at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
See the video below for a preview, and take a look at local listings to find out when it will air in your area. More videos are available online at American Masters’ website.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
