Research - Diane Arbus

I love Diane Arbus's work as she always managed to capture unusual people within her portraits. All her subjects an something interesting look to them and that there is a story to be told for each person. More often than not, looking at her photographs makes you feel uncomfortable which I think is due to the intense stares that her subjects give. 

I find the compositions of her photographs visually interesting as the subjects don't appear to have been directed in any way and it seems that they have control of how they are posing. They also seem to be around or shot in a place that has some relevance to the subject, i.e. the quite glamourous older woman below is sat in an expensive looking French chair.
