Diane Arbus is the inspiration for this piece. I didn't choose a photo to imitate, but just her overall awkwardness in the pictures was the inspiration behind this. It was a great experience to try and be like the great Diane Arbus.
I used Christine C. as a model as we were sitting on a bench. I told her to just to make a face like me and we resulted in this. Unfortunately the camera focused in on her arm in the foreground no matter how much I adjusted the zoom. But I enjoy how it ended up.
In Photoshop, I made the image black and white and adjusted the curves, making the shadows darker and more vibrant against christina's white shirt. I also burnt the background a bit to make the white brighter.
