finding inspriation

I’m pretty excited because I’ve finally found a photographer I can get my teeth into. When Stuart mentioned Nan Goldin today and talked about her taking photos mainly of friends I knew that there was something in it for me. I’ve had a look at her work and it is different to what I thought it might be at first.

Her work appeals to me because it’s raw in the sense that the people aren’t glamorous or posed. They have been caught in the moment and some images are really confronting.

I would like to draw inspiration from her for my final folio by the way of photographing friends and family in a un posed fashion. Maybe getting out of bed, or cranky making their breakfast.

I’m going to a friend’s gig this Friday night so I’m going to take lots of pics there. I’m also going camping on Saturday night so thinking that could be a good opportunity to just snap away at my good friends and see what I come up with.

This blog is pretty all over the place- Sorry. But that’s pretty much where my head is at, at the moment.
