Diane Arbus Inspiration

In class yesterday my group of four people and I looked through photos by Diane Arbus. We came across a black and white photograph of a young flower girl at a wedding. After describing it with adjectives such as dark, mysterious, taunting, and foggy, we went to Union Square to create our own photographs portraying similar adjectives. These are two of the photos we came up with. The contrast is very important in helping to express the mysteriousness. In both images, the expression of the subjects is important in portraying the feeling of Arbus's photography.
