Diane Arbus

DIANE ARBUS

 In my college essay I am looking at the photographer Diane Arbus. One of the pictures she is most famous for is this photo of Cathleen and Colleen Wade taken at a twins and triplets Christmas Party.

In my family there are identical twins called Kate and Danielle Wilson. I asked them to match the pose of Diane Arbus' photo of identical twins. I used a plain coloured background and flash to focus all the attention on the subjects like she did.

I also told the twin on the left not to smile as much as the one on the right to match expression of the faces on the twin's photo.
