Richmond, California before 1955

"Richmond, California" (before 1955) is a poignant photograph by Dorothea Lange, a renowned American photographer known for her documentary work during the Great Depression. This image captures a young couple in a tender moment, their intimacy contrasted by the stark urban setting. The woman's relaxed posture and thoughtful gaze suggests a sense of quiet confidence, while the man's obscured face hints at a shared history. This intimate scene, captured in the everyday, exemplifies Lange's ability to evoke emotion and reveal the human condition through her lens.
