THE SNAPSHOT AESTHETIC: NAN GOLDIN

Nancy Goldin. One of my favorite photographers.

Nan Goldin, Rise and Monty Kissing, NYC, 1988

Nan Goldin, Skinhead Having Sex, London, England, 1978

Nan Goldin, Smokey Car, New Hampshire, 1979

Nan Goldin, Empty Beds, Boston, 1979

Nan Goldin, Breakfast in Bed, Hotel Torre di Bellosguardo, 1996

Nan Goldin, CZ and Max on the Beach, Massachusetts, 1976

This image is a perfect example of Goldin's intimacy with her subjects. The way the image is crammed with details which are shot with an unusual angle play intelligently with the saturated colors.
