Through technology, Zahalka has utilised a modern medium of photography in order to represent her work, which is chromogenic colour print or also called type C. Chromogenic colour prints are full colour prints, and this method of producing prints is the most common photographic process. The photosensitive paper is usually plastic based and available in large rolls. A computerised light-jet printing machine is used, which exposes the digital image file onto the photographic paper. It allows the production of very large prints while retaining high resolution. Many of Zahalka’s works have also been produced by this method.

With her challenged upbringing, Arbus’ primary focus was inclined towards the ‘unusual’ and the ‘frowned upon’ as she appeared enamored in the freak and surprising looking. An interesting indication into the soul of Diane Arbus is reported in a passage she has underlined by Plato “a thing is not seen because it is visible, but conversely, visible because it is seen”.
Cubists wanted to create pictures that went beyond geometry or perspective. The idea of 'relativity' the notion of movement on a flat surface was introduced.
