Jim Goldberg — Selected Images from Raised by Wolves
Jim Goldberg

Selected Images from Raised by Wolves

Drawn from Jim Goldberg's landmark long-term documentary project, these eight gelatin silver prints offer an unflinching portrait of runaway and homeless youth living on the margins of society in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Goldberg's raw, intimate photographs are often accompanied by handwritten text from his subjects, blurring the boundaries between documentary photography and personal testimony. The work challenges conventional notions of childhood and belonging, giving voice to a forgotten generation through a deeply collaborative and humanistic lens.

Medium
Eight gelatin silver prints, printed 1994.
