Diane Arbus and random portraits

Having read ahead to Assignment 1, I have already started to think about just how that might pan out – and wondering if it is really is possible to simply walk up to several strangers.

With this top of mind, and whilst researching Diane Arbus as part of reading the course text, I found this site which highlights some key images of Arbus that were captured by simply doing exactly that, just persuading strangers to stop and pose.

I’m capturing this here because the collection on the page seems to be closest to how I currently think that Assignment 1 will pan out and would like to come back to the page for inspiration ahead of the assignment
