Joana with Valerie, and Reine in the mirror, L'Hotel, Paris, France, 1999 by Nan Goldin
I have long been a fan of Nan Goldin's work because of its integrity and grip on reality. Looking at Goldin's photograph is a portal into her world and the world of the people in her life. This image, however, works for me more than others due to the composition. It is less head-on, less blatant and lets you see much more, although very subtly. The tones are very subdued, and feel quite warm. The red curtain in particular gives it a very warm feel.
