This photograph was taken by photographer Diane Arbus. The chosen image that I've decided to write about is called Identical twins, Roselle, N.J. this was taken in 1967. Diane was born in 1923 to a Jewish family in America. Her passion for photography came from her husband they both worked together. Diane then decided to go off and work on her own. When Diane takes her photo she mainly focuses on close ups of faces and catches her subjects facial expressions well. She often uses even people in her work like twins as it is show in the picture above, Diane uses black and white effects in her photography this makes the photograph seem uneasy. Diane has used a plan white background to make her subjects stand out which makes the view curies and interested. She has used twin girls dressed in old fashioned clothing. This photograph make me think about what it was like back then for example the way they dress. I think the story behind this photograph is some people look the same but are different in other ways, I think this how Diane was trying to say this. This photograph makes me feel inspired by Diane Arbus work the way she uses the black and white affect, this makes the photograph more interesting to look at.
