Another photographer people should know about, I find her choice of subjects particularly interesting - often people on the edge of society such as tramps/prostitutes etc (which was contrary to photographic convention at the time), things that 'don't quite fit'. One of her more well known images of two female twins famously inspired Stanley Kubrik in 'The Shining' - the resemblance is obvious. Also of note is the intrinsic dullness of the prints, which adds to the thought provoking content.
