Nan Goldin

I like Nan Goldins work as the majority is a personal documentation of peoples lives using film/disposable cameras. I love the nostalgia feel as well as learning about the personal life of the perople within the images as you get a sense of their personality and day to day lives and I find it interesting to view. She is also well known for her LGBT work as she also documents the LGBT community. She gets up really close and personal photographing in peoples homes where they are most comfortable.

I get a sense that Nan Goldin herself has a nice, welcoming personality from looking at the images as some of them are so intimate, the people being photographed must feel extremely comfortable around her  and this I feel has made her images as good as they are because if the people in the images didn't feel as comfortable then they wouldn't be as candid and it's the candid shots that really document peoples situations.
