I researched about Diane Arbus and her subject in photography is to take pictures of people but not the normal daily life like I have done as you can see in these pictures. Diane took pictures of people of people she thought were different from the norm. Diane was an American photographer and writer noted for black-and-white square photographs of "deviant and marginal people (dwarfs, giants, transgender people, nudists, circus performers) or of people whose normality seems ugly or surreal".Arbus believed that a camera could be "a little bit cold, a little bit 
harsh" but its scrutiny revealed the truth; the difference between what
people wanted others to see and what they really did see – the flaws. A friend said that Arbus said that she was "afraid ... that she would be known simply as 'the photographer of freaks'";
however, that phrase has been used
repeatedly to describe her.
