Let’s look at six famous photographers, each of whom made significant contributions to the field of photography and have had a lasting impact on the medium.

Dorothea Lange

Next is Dorothea Lange, who was an American documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA). She is famous for her iconic photograph Migrant Mother.

Steve McCurry

Steve McCurry is an American photographer, best known for his stunning photograph of the "Afghan Girl" which originally appeared in National Geographic magazine in 1985.

Maybe it’s just my imagination, but I see the influence of the Afghan Girl blended into this depiction of Jesus.
