Larry Clark
American · b. 1943

Larry Clark shares Goldin's unflinching documentary approach to intimate domestic and personal moments, photographing subjects in vulnerable, unguarded states with a raw authenticity that mirrors the confessional quality of this bathtub portrait.

Wolfgang Tillmans
German · b. 1968

Tillmans similarly captures candid, intimate moments of everyday domestic life and personal relationships with a contemporary sensibility, using photography to document close personal communities with the same warmth and directness seen in this piece.

Collier Schorr
American · b. 1963

Schorr creates deeply personal and intimate portrait photography that blurs the line between documentary and staged imagery, exploring themes of identity and vulnerability in domestic settings with a similar emotional closeness and confessional tone.
