Diane Arbus:
- Born and worked in the USA
- She was known for her black and white square photographs
- Some people she would photograpgh in her work included dwarfs, giants, transvestites, nudists and circus performers.
- Despite hating the fashion world, Diane Arbus began a commercial photograpghy buisness
(42nd street movie theatre audience, N.Y.C 1958 printed, photograpgh, gelatin, silverprint on paper)
(Boy with a straw hat waiting to march in pro-war parade, N.Y.C 1967)
(The king and queen of a senior citizens dance, N.Y.C)
These three images in the gallery stood out the most out of all her work becasue i like the fact they are all black and white giving that old feel about them. Also i would say these photographs were very commercial as she has photographed people in costumes that you dont see everyday. In the first image, although it is not a portrait, becasue of the lighting it seemed theatrical and the image itself was powerful.
John Heartfield:
- He was claimed to have invented photomonatge, this was the techniques of manipulating and cutting photographs together.
- In his work he used news photographs and comissioned images.
- He was a member of the Berlin Dada group during the First world War.
