Diane Arbus

Truthfully I don't know much about this photographer and I cannot really be bothered researching, I just really like her style and the her subjects. Her portraiture really captures what that person is all about (wether it is real or staged), and her subject seem to be quirky left of centre eccentric characters, usually the outcasts and those marginalized by society. What I really like is that it feels like she spent quite some time photographing those around her, lived like them and got to know them, well that's my impression anyway. Fantastic.
