Diane was born March 14, 1923 and died July 26 1971. She was an American photographer and writer well known for black and white square photographs of "deviant and marginal people or of people who looked ugly and strange . However a friend said that Diane said that she was "afraid" of what people would say about her and that she would be simply be a photographer of freaks". They have used that expression alot to describe Arbus. I have seem some of her photography and i personal think that she has a wild range of lifestyle but her images tell us something when you look at the art of the picture.

With you portraiture post I want you to discuss the journey that the portrait has taken from the early paintings of kings and queens to the drug fuelled photographs of Larry Clarke. The portrait used to be controlled by the model or person sitting for the picture Dianne Arbus and Larry Clarke amongst others changed that perception by controlling and choosing how they represent the people in front of the camera.
