Inspiration Thursday #8: Nan Goldin

Nan Goldin did her undergrad at my school, so her name is constantly being tossed around in my classes. Her most famous work depicts the counter culture of New York City she adapted into after she graduated.



Whether "scripted" or not, Goldin's photos show the average viewer something they're not used to seeing. I guess, for me, the best way to describe her work is real. All of her photos look as if she was in the right place at the right time.


(Self-portrait, supposedly after she was beaten by a lover.)


What do you think of her work?

Let me know!
