Dorothea Lange

Dorothea Lange is an American photographer. She is also a documentary photographer. Her work is very expressive, which makes her different from many other photographers in the past. Her intention is to show emotions in her photos. Her work is representational. The theme of one of her collections was the "migrant mother", which is often the subject of her photos.

My feeling about The Road West is that it is a long road that never ends. It makes me feel lonely. Objectively, the lines in The Road West have a high horizon, and the lines of the road meet in the middle. This creates a lot of depth, which makes me feel alone.

Zoe's photograph Visitor and Dorothea Lange's The Road West are similar because they both have high horizon lines, a lot of depth, and lines that try to meet in the middle. The subjects are similar because they are both about concrete ground.

The differences between these two photos are that Zoe uses repetition of words and that Dorothea Lange's road goes on forever. At the horizon line, Zoe's photo dead-ends at a wall, but Dorothea Lange's continues in depth.
