Nan Goldin

Nan Goldin

Nan goldin is someone i looked at, at the very beginning of the project. She has truly moved me with her photography, i liked the rawness of her work before hand but after the seminar with Jamie in which he showed us a film all about Nan and her life and going back interviewing people who she took photographs off and were in her life, it took my breath away in a sense i do feel like i felt sorry for her and how much sadness and grief she had in her life from her sister committing suicide to tons and tons of her friends dying through aids and other illnesses.

I was truly moved and affected by her work and knowing that all the narrative photographs she took were taken during her day to day life, of her friends and herself  doing what they loved doing at the time, doing what was normal.

This really inspired me because of me wanting to make my narrative personal to me it's made me think about using maybe physically representations of my memories in my photos some how. Almost like a look back on my life so far or maybe a certain point in my life so far that i miss.
