Jim Goldberg
Jim Goldberg is an American photographer whose work focuses on the neglected, ignored, or otherwise outside the mainstream population. In his work titles "Raised by Wolves" Goldberg documents the lives of young runaways within California who experiences abuse, violence and addiction. These young people were given a voice and were made the centre of his photographs. These images were accompanied by handwritten texts by these subjects. What made this work so successful was the relationships he built with these people. This is something I wanted to try and explore within my own work.
The following photographs are my handwritten experiments. I do prefer this way of working when compared to the digital edits. The handwritten text makes them more personal whereas the digital images are something that anyone can do. However, much like the digital edits I believe that these don't provide enough context. For this style of working to work I think that there needs to either be more text or one word. This is something that I am going to experiment with further.
