I have never been able to explain why I was fascinated by photographer Nan Goldin. Her crude photographs always putted me in a strange ill-at-ease mood — yet I could not stop watching them over and over. I’ll always remember when, for the first time, I saw a picture of one of her friend masturbating. Dim light, strange exposure, and the bold centring emphasizing the nudity shocked me. Probably because it felt so true… I hope I’ll ever achieve this abilitie to catch real life moments, like she does.
