+ Blog.

I’ve been in an academic, photographic institution for the past two and a half years, and the names of most of those I first learned about and was inspired by are hardly ever mentioned anymore. As the course progresses, our focus shifts ever more towards the more “contemporary/conceptual” side of the medium, leaving many of the legendary image makers in its trail. The sole purpose of this blog is really for me to share things that interest me with anybody – strangers or people I know – who stumble across it. A lot of the work of the photographers that I too often simply glance at nowadays, as they have grown to be so familiar, may not be so recognisable for others. As a result, I’ve decided that I shall now attempt to make more references to their work on here in the hopes that those who have not yet met them may finally become acquainted.

The above image is by Diane Arbus, a legendary portrait photographer who pointed her lens at the weird, wonderful and outright strange elements of society.

Here is a great selection of her work.
