Diane Arbus

Celebrated for her work alongside marginalized groups within society, Diane Arbus was a renowned photographer whose wide range of subjects included nudists, dwarves and members of the LGBTQ community. Arbus’ long-standing fascination with individuality and identity was the biggest catalyst for her exploration into society and the body-types, sexualities and various other differences that defied the ‘norm’ - she had initially began her career as commercial photographer, but eventually found a medium through which she could express her celebration of social ‘deviance‘. Seated Man in a Bra and Stockings; Triplets in Their Bedroom and Puerto Rican Woman With a Beauty Mark are among some of the most evocative photographs she has captured throughout her career.
