- In this weeks episode of 'Pictures On My Mind' I talk through 6 things I learned from looking at the amazing work of documentary photographer Diane Arbus when I was a student.
With her camera Diane journeyed into the fringes of everyday life. Her output shooting square medium format b&w photography over a period of only 9 years created an incredible body of work.
She was a massive influence on my photography in six distinct ways, and I go through them one by one in todays episode.
I hope you enjoyed the video. This is a new show and it'd be great if you SUBSCRIBED to my channel! ruclips.net/user/edthomps....

I love pushing my film for interiors.
Love square too!
I love square.
Solid additional Diane Arbus content. My book must be delayed. Not shown up yet! Dang
As Huey Lewis And The News said, "It's good to be square".
But seriously, Arbus spoke of the camera giving her a licence to be somewhere, meaning you have a reason to enter worlds and communities you might not otherwise think of interacting with. Photography can be the key to some wild adventures if you are willing to let it.
Also as Arbus spent time with her subjects she could explain more clearly what she was doing and so give the sitter the chance to negotiate how they were seen.
Another great video.
Thanks Teacherdude!
Just brilliant. Thank you for making this.
Thanks Jon, comments like this make me want to keep going
What a wonderful video Ed! I enjoyed every bit of it including you letting me in on how you're filming your close-up footage by putting the tri-pod right next to you on-screen.
It's a shame to me that channels with fewer uploads but especially high quality content are less featured by RUclips's algorithm.
I can only give you your own advice by saying hold on and eventually a video will hit the right spot and go viral.
Without a doubt you should have at least a million subcribers according to the knowledge you haven given to me on The Photographic Eye and your channel. Your knowledge and unbiased way of teaching is a true inspiration. I don't mind your uploads being limited.
Please, focus on growing as a photographer first and let me in on your journey in your spare time.❤
Ah too kind! Yeah, I think it's hard for the algorithm as I'm a photographer pretending to be a RUclipsr, not the other way round! For now I'm enjoying making the videos. A few weeks ago I had my brother in law film out shooting one of my projects so you'll see me out of the cellar in action in a few weeks! Alex / The Photographic Eye has been incredible and is giving me lots of advice too. Onwards!
Well said. Diane rocks!
Yes, if you're chatty, you can become a super tourist. But I think the superpower really comes if you're not so chatty. I'm a bit shy but super interested in other people and the camera gives me the reason to be there and ask the questions that I'd never be able to ask otherwise. It's the passport into other people's lives! What's the book you're referencing?
It's definitely a term Susan Sontag used to describe Diane Arbus at some point. It may have been in an interview, I can't remember it was so long ago. But it stuck!
Cool
Well this video has definitely given me some inspiration to go out with my Bronica SQ-A again soon. Though I suffer from the curse of having too many camera to shoot haha.
Do it! It's an unsung hero of a camera! Keep your Hasselblads! Team Bronica
I like square :D Because y'know, I'm cool.
It IS hip to be square! 🎶🎶🎸🎶

She is very inspiring! By the way, it's pronounced DEE-ann not DIE-ann.
It's funny when you've miss pronounced someones name for 25 years isn't it! 🤣 You don't want to know how I used to pronounce Phillip Lorca Di Corcia!
