In the 1930s and 1940s, as America faced the Great Depression and World War II, photography emerged as a powerful tool for documenting the struggles and resilience of everyday people. Through the lenses of pioneering photographers, the era’s challenges and triumphs were preserved in images that still resonate today. This was the beginning of modern documentary photography—a movement that recorded history and brought the human experience into vivid focus.
