Nan Goldin is an American photographer whose works usually features LGBT-themed, images or public figure. Her photographs are raw images of sexuality and desires. Her early influences are Andy Warhol early films, Federico Fellini, Jack Smith French and Italian Vogue, Guy Bourdin and Helmut Newton
I see her main works would features topics that people would hinder away from as it was being too controversial and label as taboo. But she believed it would be as she quoted, 'it's all about love and our search for intimacy'
Her famous works titled ' The Ballad of the sexual Dependency' are works that depicts of the love, violence, drugs between lovers and friends
Nan's works features honesty, as she wants to capture the photos in the best way she could without all the glitz and glam and composed subjects. I like how she steps out from her boundaries, her 4 walls to venture. I think this is what made her work to be quite special as it teaches us that everyone are just the same We may look different or act different, we are special in our own way.
