Diane Arbus: is a documentary/portrait photographer. She takes pictures of people in their own environment. She has a really unique style which is kind of chaotic and perverse yet pleasant and attractive to our eyes.
This image is really strong and straight forward. The lighting is very harsh and probably from camera location. It is a simple compositon yet messy the way everything is placed. It is honest cause it shows the personality of the person or his profession.
The contrast is very high in this image. I like the tight framing, you get to se everything that is needed for us to see and it explains a lot about the person in the image. It is very honest and strong. It has a very warm and dark mood.
I like the unity and similarity in this image and the composition is very nice especially the background where the wall and the floor are not straight which creates a balance in the image. Also the different reactions on the girls faces makes the image more appealing.

#2 I was not familiar with this person's work and you seem to capture the essence of his style. The shot on the street is interesting, and your high contrast treatment of the images. 18/20
