Margaret Bourke-White

Margaret Bourke-White was an American photographer, she was a documentary photographer who was born in 1904 and died in 1971, she died of Parkinson's disease. She was the first female American war photo journalist. She was also the first photographer ever to be permitted to take photos of Soviet industry. I particularly like her work because of the pivotal time period she came from, and the influence that had. 

Here is another image by Margaret Bourke-White. I really like how this image is taken from above and how all of the people in the image are uniform and look like little tiny dots.
