He worked to equalize the relationship between photographer and subject in the making of pictures and encouraged his subjects' agency by photographing them on their own terms. Rogovin's powerful insight and immense sympathy for his subjects distinguish him as one of the most original and important documentary photographers in American history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdited by Christopher Fulton, \u003ci\u003eThe Social Documentary Photography of Milton Rogovin\u003c\/i\u003e is a multi-disciplinary study of the photographer's historical achievement and continuing relevance.
