Diane Arbus was an American photographer and writer noted for black-and-white square photographs of "deviant and marginal people (dwarfs, giants, transgender people, nudists, circus performers) or of people whose normality seems ugly or surreal.". Arbus believed that a camera could be “a little bit cold, a little bit harsh” but its scrutiny revealed the truth; the difference between what people wanted others to see and what they really did see – the flaws
"American rites, manners, and customs"; the fellowship was renewed in 1966. In 1964, Arbus began using a twin-lens reflex Mamiya camera with flash in addition to the Rolleiflex
I don't remember why we were asked to look at Diana Arbus but when looking at some of her portrait I realised that the reason could be that her portraits look like they have been cropped to just include the faces of the interesting looking people she photographed kind like she is saying that she does not want to focuse on anything else except their faces
