Diane Arbus was a controversial American photographer. She photographed nudists, and transvestites and other radical things. Her artwork was not highly respected. She was known for a lot of work in magazines. Arbus used soft light to create more artistic images compared to her commercial work in magazines. Her artwork was known to be psychotic and the images were very powerful. Her artwork was compared to a child with a hand grenade. She committed suicide because of personal issues and her family did not want to release her work if it was not respected but later they changed their minds. Its possible that she was looking for herself in the oddities of photo's subjects.
