Photography as Social Reform
• Photography was used early on to record the lives of the poor.• Reform organizations and charities used photographs of the
poor to promote their organization’s work.• Millions of people came to New York in the 19th Century,
looking for personal freedom and the opportunity to make a better life.
• A series of post-Civil War depressions left many immigrants jobless and living in disease-ridden tenement buildings.

“The picture is the language of all nationalities and all ages. The averageperson believes implicitly that the photograph cannot falsify. Thisunbounded faith in the integrity of the photograph is often rudely shaken,for, while photographs may not lie, liars may photograph. It becomesnecessary, then, in our revelation of the truth, to see to it that the camerawe depend upon contracts no bad habits.” - Lewis Hine, in a speech to the National
Child Labor Committee in 1909
