About US-American Photographer, Lewis W. HINE (1874-1940)

Lewis W. HINE was working as a teacher at the Ethical Culture School in New York when he became self-taught in photography. Initially, he took portraits of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island. After completing his documentary on child labor in the U.S., he went to Europe in 1918 for the American Red Cross to record the aftermath of World War I. He then went to the U.S. to work as a photographer. Back in the States, he captured the construction of the Empire State Building in images that he published in his famous coffee table book 'Men at Work'. Lewis W. HINE died impoverished in New York in 1940.
