Diane Arbus was an American photographer she had a wide range of subjects. Arbus photographed subjects that were not conventional for the time period including transvestites, giants, circus performers, nudists, and identical twins. Arbus got to know her subjects very well to better capture the story behind her photographs. She was also a social landscape photographer.  

I chose this photographer because her subject matter interested me a lot. Being a female photographer and pushing the limits of society was interesting. I like the fact that she did not try to blend in and take photos of things she already knew looked good. She branched out and did her own things. She was also really involved in the story behind an image which I really admire.  

This was one of Arbus biggest subjects, she photographed unusual and unconventional subjects. This picture shows identical twins, something you do not see very often. I like that she is trying to tell a story behind the image. Her photograph is supposed to show viewers to notice not only the similarities but the slight differences. The background has little meaning to the image. The girls are an exceptionally large scale due to them being the center point of the image. They are mostly symmetrical, and they are wearing the same outfit to highlight the similarities. The color contrasts are very minimal. I think this is important because I believe that it is a part of the story behind the image.
