Browsing the Community - @ratel


Ratel (62) is a photographer from Tomsk, Siberia and started steeming in June 2016. He is a great ''bird catcher'' and produces a high quality content. I will present you a couple of his photographs and I strongly encourage you to check his work out for yourself. His posts are great!

These photographs are HIS original work and I have absolutely nothing to do with them.

Famous Photographer - Diane Arbus


Diane Arbus (March 14, 1923 – July 26, 1971) was an American photographer. Her work often focused on the unique characters amongst our society (marginalized people - dwarfs, giants, transgender people, nudists, circus performers - and others whose normality was perceived by the general populace as ugly or surreal). Her images often had a disturbing element to them and have had a lasting legacy on urban street culture.

Some of her most widely cited quotations: "Freaks was a thing I photographed a lot.... Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats." or "I do feel I have some slight corner on something about the quality of things. I mean it's very subtle and a little embarrassing to me, but I believe there are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them."

Must-watch - Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006)


Drama/Romance ‧ 2h 2m
Release Date: October 20, 2006 (Italy) / Director: Steven Shainberg
''In 1958 New York Diane Arbus (Nicole Kidman) is a housewife and mother who works as an assistant to her husband (Ty Burrell), a photographer employed by her wealthy parents. Respectable though her life is, she cannot help but feel uncomfortable in her privileged world. One night, a new neighbor (Robert Downey Jr.) catches Diane's eye, and the enigmatic man inspires her to set forth on the path to discovering her own artistry.''
Nicole Kidman stars in this biopic about the legendary American photographer Diane “Fur” Arbus.
