Intimate Life (Chapter Response)
In chapter five Intimate Life from The Photograph as Contemporary Art by
Charlotte Cotton, photos are to capture loved ones at a significant moment or
event. While the majority of amateur photographers call redeye, bad framing,
shaken photo, a bad shot, Intimate Life photography takes these and call it contemporary
art. Through the “usual mistakes” that most people’s photographs have, the
private experience is communicated. Intimate life photography, such as Nan
Goldin’s inspired even the fashion world. From her work came the “grunge”
style.
"Nan and Brian in Bed", NYC -Nan Goldin
One
photographer mentioned in this chapter is Nan Goldin. I have seen a lot of her
work and I have mixed feelings about it. I believe that she is very talented
and captures significant moments and events in her and her friend’s lives. Nan
Goldin’s photographs are important because she had the new approach and process
of an Intimate Life series. She has photographed her life. I like her photos
because I understand the need to photograph as a record of moments, events and
emotion in my own personal life. I can understand how photo’s can become a
diary. What separates Nan Goldin from others is the real content of her photos.
The life style that her and her friends were having is thrown at the viewer. The
some photographs depict things from violence, to drug use, to sex. These images
are important because many people in the world would rather just ignore people
or problems like these, then to acknowledge that they are real.
"Lady GaGa" -Wolfgang Tillman
Another
photographer mentioned in this chapter is Wolfgang Tillman. Tillman started out
in the fashion world and than later switched into Fine Art photography.
Tillman’s photography is very much modeled after Nan Goldin, which made me
become interested. Tillman’s focus on friends becomes a narrative. Both of
these photographers produce photos that evoke attitudes, and can be used to
look beyond the subject’s lives. These are social issues, spelt out in personal
terms.
