Nan Goldin - Second Draft

Nan Goldin - Second Draft
These images are a second draft. Some of them you have already seen in the first draft, but I thought they embodied Nan Goldin's work so nicely that I wanted to keep them for this second draft. All of these pictures fit together because you can try and tell what the person is thinking but everyone will have different opinions because they all have a sense of mystery to them. I tried experimenting with the daytime and the nighttime and I posted some of these experiments. Enjoy...

Nan Goldin

Nan Goldin
Nan Goldin was my inspiration for all these photos. She is an amazing photographer that took many candid shots of her closest friends. Each one of her pictures depicts important moment in their lives and fun moments in their lives. I believe that every picture she has taken is a "slice of life" photo, because in all the photographs she has taken, you focus on the whole picture, not just the subject, the person. You focus on the beautiful backgrounds, you focus on the objects the person is dealing with, and you also focus, of course, on the people. These are a few photos I took that represent the style of Nan Goldin in my mind....
