Con la carrera de sociologia, su fotografia es una forma de investigacion elevada al arte fotografico mostrando la dura vida de la inmigracion de la norteamerica de primeros de siglo XX.
A la hora de realizar fotografías (él las realizaba con fines sociológicos) se veía antes como figura artística que como científico. Muy preocupado por el bienestar de los menos favorecidos, registró la llegada de los inmigrantes a Ellis Island, sus asentamientos en insalubres viviendas, sus trabajos en fábricas y tiendas y a sus hijos jugando en los cubos de basura. Hine comprendía la subjetividad de sus fotografías pero también creía que tenían un enorme poder de crítica, llegando a describir sus fotografías como "fotointerpretaciones".
