dorothea is named after Dorothea Lange, "was an American documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA). Lange's photographs influenced the development of documentary photography and humanized the consequences of the Great Depression."

From 1941, "she documented the internment of Japanese Americans and their subsequent incarceration, traveling throughout urban and rural California to photograph families required to leave their houses and hometowns on orders of the government. Sensitive to the implications of her images, authorities impounded most of Lange's photography of the (Japanese American) internment process—these photos were not seen publicly during the war. "

"In 1952, Lange co-founded the photography magazine Aperture)", which is still in print today (as of 2025).

The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera. -- Dorothea Lange: A Photographer's Life. p. vii (1978)
