Sooo...even though we handed in our module last week and were having a little rest...
It couldn't last for too long of course! Lol.
Seen as we got the next brief before we even handed it all in haha.
Im not gonna lie, I didn't look at the "Useful photographers" first, which was probably a stupid idea, because then I would have had a better idea of what to do :) Foolish.
Anywhoooo, I have looked at them for secondary research.
First off...Nan Goldin.
This is what I wish I hadn't looked at, at first! Because I simply typed it in to google and it came up with what looked like a child looking up another child's skirt or something? Lol.
But, after I got over that, I looked more and she's actually the kind of documentary photographer I like because for documentary photography, it doesn't look very posed!
She kind of reminds of Richard Billingham?
High class family, clearly.
The two pictures above are Billingham...
And the 3 below are Nan Goldin.
"Joana with Cigarette at the Chateauneuf de Gadagne, Avignon"
This one is called "Joan Crawford on fire; Thanksgiving in NJ"
I even love the titles of her work lol, so obvious but...especially the Joan Crawford one, Funny.
Both of the artists seem to take their pictures with a simple 35mm film camera, I think this, because of the quality of the images.
All the images are so simple and look somewhat "candid"; I think they 'tell a story' or 'document a moment in time' better than a posed image.
I have liked the work of Billingham for quite a long time but now I would like to do more research into Goldin.
Ahh :) Good times.x
