Atlas Steel Casting (Working People series) 1978 - 1979

Milton Rogovin’s *Atlas Steel Casting (Working People series)*, a black and white photograph from 1978-79, captures a worker in a foundry, their figure shrouded in the shadows of their protective gear as they manipulate molten metal with a long tool. Rogovin, known for his photojournalism, documented the lives of working-class people, often creating portraits that highlight the dignity and hard work of their labor. This photograph, part of his *Working People* series, is a powerful testament to the unseen efforts of those who contribute to industrial production.
