Diane Arbus was an American photographer who was known for her portraits of people on the fringes of society- transvestites, dwarfs, giants, prostitues and working class citizens. She used the 35mm cameras but by the 1960's Arbus adopted the rolleiflex medium format twins lens reflex. This format provided a square aspect ratio high image resolution and a waist level view finder that allowed her to connect with subjects in ways that a standard eye level viewfinder did not.
