Jim Goldberg is an American photographer who likes to focus a lot of his work on the neglected and ignored populations he takes time on these projects collecting thousands of photographs to make sure that the photos he choses represents his thoughts and views on the subject/ mater he is trying to get across, Goldberg uses film and digital cameras to create his book Raised By Wolves which shows a neglected and hurt population, his work is moving to his audiences as his work has been personalised by the people who he has included in it from people writing notes, drawings and dialog, this shows he is a photographer who wants to make an impact on people and wants to get people to speak up about where and who they come from.

Jim Shows his photos in many ways from scanning film and including the film negatives, peculiar layouts to full bleeds he includes multiple ways to show a story behind his work. Raised By Wolves is classed by some people as a novel with pictures whilst others see it as photographs which tell a story accompanied by text. For me personally I see it as both what you see tells you a story which you interpret and the righting tells you another story.

Jim Goldberg has inspired me in they way he layouts his images and presents them, they way he does it has meaning behind they stories they tell they are eye-catching and appealing o the audience, i also love the way Goldberg includes hand writing from the people he photographs i see it as a really good way to personalise work and create a mood around the work.

Meaning behind his work

Raised By Wolves is about probes the gap between dreams and reality in the lives of teenage runaways living on the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles, and bout a neglected community which people don’t think about, and the youth which are getting lost in addiction and substance abuse, this project let the people be heard and seen when they hadn’t been before. Jim Goldbergs work always shows a divide in society predominantly focusing on the side which most people don’t see and making people see it this aspect of his work is truly moving n the sense he gives people voices and allows them to tell their story’s when no one else would listen.
