Dorothea Lange’s photographic approach in Daring to Look: Dorothea Lange’s Photographs and Reports from the Field centers on documentary realism, capturing raw and intimate moments during critical social periods. Her images reveal the resilience and struggles of individuals in the face of economic and environmental hardship, particularly during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl era.

The book includes both Lange’s photographs and her written field reports, providing a layered perspective that combines visual evidence with narrative context. This integrated approach highlights her commitment to social justice and the ethical responsibilities of documentary photography.

Published by the University of Chicago Press in 2008, the volume spans 376 pages, offering a comprehensive look at Lange’s work that remains influential in the history of photojournalism and social documentary.
