Lynsey Addario Book Report

Image
  Reading “ It's What I do” One of my favorite parts of photojournalism has been reading “It's what I do” by Lynsey Addario. When I first found out we were going to read this book I felt a little upset, I feel like everyone feels a certain way about an assigned reading. I quickly found myself admiring Lynsey Addario’s work and writing, there were times where I couldn't stop reading. Though there were many riveting stories Addario told throughout her book, my favorite was at the very beginning.

Diane Arbus

Diane's first introductory to photography was from her husband Allan Arbus, though this was her first look at photography, Diane was drawing and painting odd things since she was younger. Diane and Allen worked together on photography, mostly photographing fashion.  After some time of working together, Diane eventually decided to do her own photography. In partnership with everything she had learned from her husband and other sources she eventually did a photography course with Berenice Abbot where she learned more about photography. Diane photographed what I like to think of as "The Wallflowers of Society". Diane photographed people with disabilities, people with dwarfism, carnival performers, cross dressers, sex workers, twins, couples, as well as more unusual subjects. That was Diane's thing as well as her "Claim to Fame". Photographing ...
