Famous Photographer #8

Diane Arbus

Born 1923 and Died 1971

Her and her husband owned a studio in NYC shooting for big name fashion companies. She was more of the art director and he was the photographer. I was a little shocked when I heard she did fashion because when I think of her I think of the old school circus.

Her husband gifted her a camera when they got married. Her husband was a photographer for the US army in WW2.

She started shooting in the late 50's a little fashion but mostly her own stuff. As she was shooting she did learn more about photography from other professionals.

She is known for her street portraits of people who people would look away from. She did build relationships with some of the people she photographed and that helped her go to places and photograph diffrent people like the circus.

Microburst

The other day I was walking around waiting for unicycle hockey to start and i walked into the local gallery and showed the lady at the front desk my yearly portfolio just for fun to show her what I been doing. She knew who I was because been there before and I had my first gallery show there. The back of the book has the photo below, She said thats a microburst and that she has seen and heard about them before. As we were talking I looked it up on my phone and there it was.

Power Out

What does a modern day photographer do when there is now power? Goes out and takes photos and waits for the power to come back on an edit them. 

Me and my photographer friend hung out by playing with flashes in the studio and then walking around town and then going to Ooms. Also I took a few photos with the candle light because of no power.
