The is a video on the Tescos website and this is a few screen grabs of the video.
Dorothea Lange
Following her studies at Columbia University in New York under Clarence H White between 1917 and 1919, Dorothea Lange started out as an independent portrait photographer in San Francisco. Shocked by the number of homeless people in search of work during the great depression, she decided to take pictures of people in the street to draw attention to their plight. In 1935 she joined the farm security administration (fsa) and reported on living conditions in the rural areas of the USA. In an unflinchingly direct manner she documented the bitter poverty of migrant workers and their families.
Dorothea Lange's pictures not only showed the hopelessness and despair, but also the pride and dignity with which people endured their circumstances. One of the most famous and most frequently published photographs of the FSA project is "Migrant Mother" the portrait of a Californian migrant worker with her three children. The face of the young woman is marked by wrinkles, the gaze full of worry directed in the distance. To the right and the left the two children, seeking protection, lean against her shoulders, hiding their faces from the camera, while the small baby has fallen asleep on its mother lap. This highly concentrated, tightly composed image has made Dorothea Lange an icon of socially committed photography.

David Octavius Hill
David Octavius Hill was described as one of history's most important portrait photographers, who actually was a landscape painter and lithographer.
He resorted to photography only as an aid for executing an unusual assignment that he was given in 1843. He was commissioned to paint a group portrait of the 457 man and women who participated in the founding convention of the free church of Scotland in Edinburgh.
At the suggestion of his friend Sir David Brewster, Hill decided first to photograph all the delegates individually, and then to use the resulting pictures as guides for the rendering their facial features correctly in the painting of the group.
He was fortunate in securing the cooperation of a competent photographer, Robert Adamson, who had opened a photographic studio in Edinburgh a short time earlier. Even though the photographs were initially intended as a short of memory aid, the two men did not concentrate exclusively on the facial features of their clients. Instead they created elaborate and well composed portraits in the style of painted portraits of their time.
Some of their portraits, those that show ladies robed in luxuriant silk garments, are even reminiscent of Dutch painting of the 17th century.
Nearly all the portraits were made outdoors, with exposure times of several minutes. As backdrops they used an open air studio on Carlton Hill and the baroque monument of Greyfriars Cemetery.

August Sander
After working in the mines for seven years and serving in the military, August Sander studied painting in Dresden between 1901 and 1902. His intention was to enhance his artistic skills, in order to apply them to his interest in photography, which he had developed on numerous trips and while working at many photographic business in Berlin, Magdeburg, Leipzig, Halle and Dresden in 1898 band 1899.
Finally, in 1902 he moved to Linz where he first worked at studio Greif and then in 1904 founded the August Sander studio for artistic photography and painting. In 1909 he returned to Cologne, where he founded his studio in Lindenthal in 1910.
There he began his life's work, people of the 20th century, which occupied him into the fifties. In the thirties he got into trouble with the National Socialists on account of his son's political activities, causing him in those years to devote himself almost exclusively to taking pictures of landscapes in the Rhine River area and in old Cologne. Prior to that, by publishing the mirror of Germany and face of the times, he was able to accomplish at least the initial stage of his idea of an encyclopedic and systematic picture of the German people.
Finally in 1980 his son Gunther, collaborating with Ulrich Keller, published the combined work under the original title "people of the 20th century". After the destruction of his studio and archive in 1944, Sander moved to Kuchhausen in the Westerwald region, where he continued working under the most primitive conditions. His name almost forgotten in Cologne until L. Fritz Gruber showed his work at photokina in 1951 and arranged for his pictures of Old Cologne to be taken over by the museum of the city of Cologne.
Sander's portrait work constitutes an important contribution to the recognition of photography as an art. Today his systematic approach is viewed as an early example of conceptual art, which was also not with out influence on the development of the creative arts. He is now considered to be Germany's internationally best known photographer of this century.
