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…
