Biography
Milton Rogovin (1909-2011) was an American photographer who is best known for his black-and-white documentary photographs of working-class people in Buffalo, New York. His work captures the dignity and resilience of everyday people, often portrayed in their homes and workplaces, offering a powerful social commentary on the lives of those who were often marginalized. The images are candid and intimate, with a strong sense of realism and humanism, exploring themes of community, identity, and social class. His style is often described as “street photography,” but it is also characterized by its focus on the individual and their stories.
