Diane Arbus is a photographer who likes to observe. Arbus mostly seems to observe the person and the area in which the person may be. The appearance of someone may lead another person to think of them in a certain way. But there comes a point in which you want people to stop learning about you and then there's those things that you cant help people from knowing about you. Diane Arbus calls this the gap between intention and effect. Arbus doesn't really like taking images of what most photographers would, she would rather stay away from the common waves of photographers which are all commonly used, edited and/or worked on before actually being published. She prefers to not hide any facts and not hide what she is photographing really looks like. This lead to her interest in photographing social challenged people or more commonly known as freaks, people that reminded her of a people in fairy tales who would stop you and ask you to figure out something confusing. She has never taken a picture that she has intended meaning her images either came out worse than she expected or better than she expected.
