Diane Arbus/Barrett

In Diane Arbus's photography she focuses more on vulger photography symbolizing her love for the way she herself grew up feeling unwanted and distant from her family. In Elizabeth Barretts documentary she talked about how children were triggered as "unhappy and unstable" growing up in families where they didn't have money and people outside of the "poor world" considered them to be unhappy with their lives and scared to be themselves. In Diane Arbus's photography she makes her subjects visible to the eye by appealing their sense of the unknown. Much like the people presented in Elizabeth Arbus's documentary the people didn't necessarily want to be put out in the media as "poor". In both the texts, the two share a common interest in perhaps shaming the people presented in the texts by not seeking approval from the subjects and not finding a way to get out in the media that there is a problem with poverty but without shaming the people publicly. Photography has the ability to change the way people think about themselves and others creating a powerful judgment among the human race. Much like Hobert Ison in the documentary of Hugh O' Connor, the people in Diane Arbus's photos appear to be unaware and bothered by something in their lives. Diane is putting out the problems with people and putting thier issues out publicly. Knowing this, is it safe to say that the film makers and photographers take advantage of the issues with people, photographing them and filming them saying "this is what's out there in the world and this is the problem, here are the people". It's easy to say that people today don't know how to present the problems in the world without putting shame to the people.
