The most recent collection of work I could discover by Nan golding was this image titled A self-portrait of Nan Goldin Photograph by Nan Goldin taken on December 3 2022 I'm not sure if this is indeed her final composition, but this was the most recent date I could discover. This image is quite intriguing because it doesn't really include a face or other item, but it is nonetheless stunning and captivating. The colors are very subtle and the picture seems old almost as if it has a vintage look to it.
I choose this artist because I adored nan goldind's illustration in the reading. It grabbed my interest. My favorite aspect of the photo, in my opinion, is the lighting. It exudes a strong sense of mysticism and unease. The person in the photo is also really cool. She has a somewhat gloomy appearance, but there is also a strange calmness about her. Nan Golding is an exceptionally gifted and interesting artist.

Tim Walker
One of today's most influential and aesthetically stimulating fashion photographers.
Tim Walker is without a doubt one of the most educated, original, and important modern photographers the world has ever seen. He is gifted with infinite imagination and drawn to gothic humor, English irony, and eccentricity. A photographer who has an undisputed aptitude for narrative more than anybody else in the field. His photographs "channel the magic of photography to become, through intricate scenographic narration, - genuine works of art," which explains why they are included in numerous permanent collections in esteemed museums and galleries throughout the globe. Walker's distinctive photographic style allows him to combine movement and text in a single image and creating a story is something that very few photographers are able to do. Walker's images are extravagant in scale and ambition and instantly recognizable for their jarring individuality. They glisten with life, color, and humor. The world's top magazines, including The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, W, British, French, American, and Italian Vogue, among many others, are where he finds inspiration for his work.
Tim Walker took his brother's camera, a Christmas present when he was younger. He initially doubted that he could be a legitimate photographer because he struggled to understand the technical aspects. His fashion career got off to a fast start. He secured an internship at Vogue House as a 19-year-old searching the archives. He says, "I truly believed it was the dreary job working in the Conde Nast dungeon. I want to be in the studio with all the flashing lights and action. However, that was a blessing in disguise because it opened up the history of fashion photography.

The reason I chose these two pictures is because they are very different in everything, style, mood, and setting but at the same time they are both similar because when I look at these pictures all I feel and see is the mystery in these photos. Just by looking at the photo of the girl in the blue dress, I have many questions: why is she on the stairs? Or what events occurred that led to her in this beautiful long blue dress? The thoughts are just circling my mind. The same thing for the second picture it's like the questions are never-ending. I want to know why he chose to have a crocodile instead of any other animal. This is the reason why I chose the photos because I love how strange they are and how curious I am about their lives. Thats the amazing thing about Walker’s work is that it's very strange and unique but at the same time you're able to see a story from just one picture it's almost as if his imagination is portrayed in the picture and his ability to tell us what went on in his mind when he took these photos. His love for fashion doesn’t just stop at clothes, the scene that he's putting out for his viewers is what matters the most. His way of incorporating different elements and props in one photo but at the same time everything goes well together is what makes his work amazing. Another thing I love about him is the fact that he doesn’t have only one style of photography he photographs many styles they are all different but one thing that connects all of them is his creativity and storytelling photos.

Willis Reading Response
"with life being lived more in public than before, in the streets and on the factory floor, in offices and shops, and with travel by rail and steamship becoming more common, people grew ever more curious about the strangers among them, strange land abroad and strange events on the news."
when you are living in your own bubble, you don't really care to look around you and see what other people are going through. driving by a bus stop and seeing people there and thinking that you have no idea who this person is or what they are going through. The more you leave your bubble the more you see that the world is not a great place or realize that everyone else around you has their own story and they are not just characters in yours.
