I believe that you can capture the essence and beauty of time within a single photo. By taking the time to hunt out a moment that fascinates you, you can capture the heart that provides an aesthetic documentary.
"I think the only thing wrong with the word 'documentary' is that it can give some people the idea that you make absolutely dull pictures of the ingredients of something instead of the heart of something."
-Henri Cartier-Bresson

| "Two ladies at the automat" display a mesmerizing visual. It is as if the women are glaring at the viewer through a window into the future. They have an eerie presence that automatically drives focus to their eyes. Their pose is direct and allows for a symmetrical balance within the frame. Arbus has an ability to capture the essence of chiaroscuro. She dramatically captures a moment in time that leaves the viewer questioning. This 1960's photo also contains many objects that reflect its place in time. |
