Portraiture 


  • Diane Arbus - she used her camera to take away what people did not want to see
  • photographers like taking photographs of unusual people/things.
  • Walker Evans - sharecroppers waiting to have their photographs taken
  • why did walker/Evans want to take pictures of somethings that photographers normally wouldn't want to publish? - was it curiosity? 
  • Diane - photograph of Colin Wood
  • Bresson's portraits were unsatisfactory 1966/1967
  • Vacarro lied to Picasso that the camera wasn't working, so as he relaxed he too the photograph of him unexpectedly. 
  • photographers want to show more that just normal photograph that get seen

Diane Arbus was an American photographer, born on March the 14th 1923 and passed away on the 2nd of 1971.
Arbus used her camera to take what people did not want to see. Most of her pictures were unusual photographs of thing or people. Pictures that other photographers would take by mistake and not publish them because they were 'Mistakes'.
