When you say "directly influenced," do you mean photographers who had
contact with Bourke-White while she was alive?

My group needs to write a grant proposal for her as if we were in her
time.  One of the things we need is her influence on later
photographers.  It is unclear whether she should have had direct
contact with them or not so both would be most appreciated.

Margaret Bourke-White had a profound influence on photojournalism and
on architectural and industrial photography.

Any Life or Fortune photographer during and after her time came under
her influence, she was a leading pioneer of the photo essay.
Photographers with whom she corresponded  are a who's who of
photography and included Ansel Adama, Imogen Cunnignham, Alfred
Eisenstaedt, Yousef Karsh, Dorthea Lange, Jackie Maritn, Edward
Steichen, Ralph Steiner, Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Weston.

Probably more than any other influence, it was Life and the work of
its first photographers that began the transformation of popular
journalism from a written to a visual medium. Photographers Alfred
Eisenstadt, Margaret Bourke-White, Peter Stackpole, and Carl Mydans
are seminal figures in the field of photojournalism.
