Nan Goldin (b. 1953) is unquestionably one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. She began her career in the 1970s taking candid shots of her friends and lovers, often comprised of characters living on the margins of society.
Her intimate images put emphasis on her subject’s individuality, infusing them with dignity and empathy rather than their sexuality or otherness. They have since become some of the most important and memorable images of queer people in post-Stonewell America.
“Joey” is one of Goldin’s best known muses, appearing in a large number of iconic images from the late 80’s onwards. Click here to see another image of Joey by Nan Goldin from 1992.Â
In this image, Joey gently leans into the back of a chair, her chest bare and outwardly exposed. Joey’s downward expression is partially hidden by her voluminous fringe, which contributes to her enigmatic presence and continuous glamour. With an unflinching honesty, Goldin doesn’t require the subject to make contact with the camera. The photograph is intimate and revealing, seeking to capture the reality of her friend in real time.
