This assignment focuses on Diane Arbus, in an attempt to copy her photography style. I believe this assignment was chosen in order to prevent us "over staging" our models because Diane Arbus's photography involves regular, everyday people. However, her shots make those people seem unnatural or awkward.
As I looked through the photos of Diane Arbus, it seemed as though all of her photos were candid. I realized this because I love candid shots. When I attend parties, everyone complains about my candid shots because they look unnatural. For this photo, I had my friend sit and talk to me while I took shots whenever I felt it was necessary. I also bent my knees to be face level with her because Diane Arbus does a few up close head shots. There is also an emphasis on her eyes because that is usually the focal point of a person's face.
