I wanted to find a way in which I can link all of my photographs together but also keep my outsider view running clear and strong. Diane Arbus was accused of taking this outsider view due to her objectifying photograph names such as 'The Jewish Giant'. By doing this her viewers look at her subjects as objects, this man isn't a man,he has no soul, his is just a Giant. These names rip away human quality and contain objectification. Looking into what I feel that I want to achieve with my images I want to name my photographs to look like it is my subjects circus act names. This also would play on with the fact that their bodies are being used as entertainment, it is their 'Freak name'.
