Diane Arbus is well known for using stark black and white photography. One of the things about her work is that she will often use even numbers of people. Even numbers of people make the viewer appear uneasy. 
I took a photograph of my cousin displaying a blank emotion. The emotion i supposed to represent a disturbed state of mind. I had her gaze in to the camera as if she was trapped in another world. In photoshop i then used the mask layer, dodge tool and destauration to merge a 'twin clone' of her. This makes the image appear more disturbing and uncomfortable.
