Diane Arbus
(March 14, 1923 – July 26, 1971)
Diane Arbus shone a light on what was considered as the 'darker' side to reality as she took portraits of the people that would not normally be shown to people. they knew them in everyday life but was never documented. At the time these people were wernt considered to be normal (dwarfs, giants, transvestites, nudists, circus performers). These people facinated Arbus so she decided to share it with the world to share her facination with these people. Arbus has stirred up massive controversy in 1971 Norman miller was quouted saying 'giving a camera to Diane Arbus is like putting a live grenade in the hands of a child'. despite quotes like this Arbus' work still sells for hundreds of thousands at auction. portritaure is used to capture the likeness of an individual or a small group of people, in which the face and expressions are predominant. portraiture is the focus of the person's face in the photograph. normally the person in the picture will be facing the camera and will be posing in a certain way. this is more used for home use for family photos but is also used in fashiopn photography.
