Modotti’s work developed a distinct voice: clean, modernist compositions infused with a strong social consciousness. She photographed workers, indigenous people, architecture, and everyday objects, balancing aesthetic precision with empathy and political engagement. Her images often reflect the ideals of the Mexican Revolution and the cultural renaissance of the time.
