Q1: What kind of work did Diane Arbus do?

Arbus photographed People's lives, not aiming for perfection in a photo but finding a photo that is interesting to look at. She preferred photographing facial expressions of despair or concern in her photos, having a motto of "you can't help what people know about you".

Q2: Do you think that photographers stand to prey on vulnerable people?

I don't believe that they stand ready like vultures looking specifically for vulnerable people, but if the time came I think that any photographer would try to capture that vulnerability in one photo if given that chance.

Q3: What is Larry Clarke's Tulsa Project about?

Larry Clarke's Tulsa project captures moments of his own life of drugs, and getting laid. He photographed his life like a diary. Particularly very intimate photos from the 1970's.

Q4: What is the title of Nan Goldin's most renowned work?

Ballad of Sexual Dependency.

Q5: What does Araki photograph now? And what is his philosophy?

Araki is photographed  detailed pictures of his life.
His philosophy is to shoot what he wants to remember and capture memories in black and white photographs that capture the past, present and future.

Q6: What is Richard Billingham's Work about?

Billingham photographed family moments in real time rather than fake posing smiles, showing glimpses of chaos.  He took pictures and rather paint them, than actually taking photos, such as his father and his alcoholism, he took pictures as his father would't stay still enough for the actual painting.

The Lift by Marc isaacs

The lift was a simplistic short film idea of Isaacs sitting in a lift for major of the day and film the locals as they leave and return from their days.  As simple as it sounds, The Lift was truly mesmerizing with footage of the outer and inner workings of the lift itself.  Throughout the short film we meet the locals from different cultures and different ages, the diversity of the flat estate is what I found interesting the most.  It gave a lot of different views of the locals, as Isaacs would ask them similar Questions about their life.
