Im really interested in Arbus's work because of how weird it is. what captures my eye to this photo in particular, is that even though its a beautfiul photo, its also actually kind of ugly. the figures body shape is skinny, and sort of unattractive. the figure is sort of giving the camera a blank expression. the hair is crazy and wild, and the bed is unmade. though the subject is almost hard to look at, it makes the photograph strong. this photograph relates to my work because ive been shooting self portraits, and someething ive learned since doing them for solong, is that i stopped trying to make myself look pretty in the photograph.
