Margaret Bourke-White. Early life[edit] In 1924, during her studies, she married Everett Chapman, but the couple divorced two years later.[7] Margaret White added her mother's surname, "Bourke" to her name in 1927 and hyphenated it.[3] Architectural and commercial photography[edit] One of Bourke-White's clients was Otis Steel Company.

Her success was due to her skills with both people and her technique. Her experience at Otis is a good example. Photojournalism[edit] Her photographs of the construction of the Fort Peck Dam were featured in Life's first issue, dated November 23, 1936, including the cover.[10] This cover photograph became such a favorite (see [11]) that it was the 1930s' representative in the United States Postal Service's Celebrate the Century series of commemorative postage stamps. During the mid-1930s, Bourke-White, like Dorothea Lange, photographed drought victims of the Dust Bowl. World War II[edit] As the war progressed, she was attached to the U.S. Later years and death[edit] Margaret Bourke-White Gallery. Margaret Bourke-White is a woman of many firsts.

She was a forerunner in the newly emerging field of photojournalism, and was the first female to be hired as such. She was the first photographer for Fortune magazine, in 1929. In 1930, she was the first Western photographer allowed into the Soviet Union. Henry Luce hired as the first female photojournalist for Life magazine, soon after its creation in 1935, and one of her photographs adorned its first cover. She was the first female war correspondent and the first to be allowed to work in combat zones during World War II, and one of the first photographers to enter and document the death camps. Margaret Bourke-White - "I WANT TO BECOME FAMOUS" Margaret Bourke-White hurried to her lifeboat and stood in line. The sinking ship Margaret left behind was a troopship bound for North Africa in 1942 during World War 11. The convoy sailed into a heavy storm. Before it even reached the ocean, Margaret's lifeboat was full of water.
