Teenage Couple on Hudson Street, N.Y.C. 1963

Diane Arbus's 1963 photograph "Teenage Couple on Hudson Street, N.Y.C." is a poignant example of her signature style, focusing on the marginalized and overlooked. The image, shot in black and white, portrays a young couple standing awkwardly against a brick wall, their expressions both defiant and vulnerable. Arbus's keen eye for detail captures the teenage awkwardness of the subjects, their clothes and poses mirroring the unease of adolescence. The image is a testament to Arbus's ability to capture the complexities of human emotion and the beauty found in the ordinary.
