It’s easy to become inspired by modern photographers and all the great work that they do. We profile many of them here in our interviews. But at the same time, some of the earliest photographers have a purity about them that removes all of the ambiguities around modern photography today. One of those photographers is Diane Arbus. For her time, she was very pioneering photographer who worked to tell very important stories. Her images often were a slap in the face to conventional standards of what was considered normal. But most of all, she didn’t give into the idea of documentary-porn or the idea of making the image all about herself. Instead, her images were all about the people in front of her camera.
