Masters of Photography - Margaret Bourke-White

About

Margaret Bourke-White was a photographer in the 20th century. She was born in the United States in 1904 and lived in the US for her entire life. As one of the original photographers of Time Magazine, she took photographs of many subjects, including war and architecture. She is famous for her iconic photographs of Mahatma Gandhi and the liberation of Buchenwald, along with her aerial shots of major cities.

My View

I chose Margaret Bourke-White because of her application of geometry and composition to her photography. For example, she employs the use of leading lines in her photograph of the Fort Peck Dam, as shown below. 


And this is my version.
