Undoubtedly, Margaret Bourke-White was known for photographing many different things. Her photography portfolio ranges from industrial architecture, to influential people, to the faces of war. Bourke-White was heavily influenced by her engineer father who was a quiet inventor that drew his subjects everywhere he went. Originally, Bourke-White didn't have an interest in photography -- her hobby was herpetology. When Bourke-White finally took her first photography class, she was in college studying art. It wasn't until she went to seven different universities that she discovered her love of photography. She is known for photographing the top of the Christler building as it was a very dangerous endeavor. Margaret worked for Life magazine for a large part of her career. She also traveled to the Soviet Union, England, and Africa. What is so unique about Margaret Bourke-White is her wide range of subjects of her photos -- there is something interesting in every type of photo she has taken.
