Diane Arbus was best known for her square format photographs. She was also famous for her grainy, intimate voyeuristic work which mostly consists portraits of marginalized people- person or group that are considered insignificant or of lower status. Her works were mostly controversional and were heavily critiqued.

Most of her portrait shots are close-up shots, intending to create a sense of intimacy with her subject. As well as the details can be clearly seen. Below are my process photographs for task 1, attempting to take shots of different vantage points and subject distance.

Here’s a close up shot of the object on a neutral background.
