Diane ArbusWhen in doubt,
consult Wikipedia…
Diane ArbusAmerican photographer and writer noted for black-and-white square photographs of “deviant and
marginal people or of people whose normality seems ugly or surreal.”
“Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night & stealing Oreo cookies.”
- Diane Arbus
In 1962, Arbus switched to one of these: a twin lens reflex Rolleiflex camera. The
switch allowed her to produce more detailed square images.
And allowing her to create some of her most famous work…
