Richard Billingham
Richard Billingham was born in Birmingham in 1970. He is most known for his photographs of his family. He originally began shooting them as references for his paintings. After his first show with these photographs, he became famous almost over night. Afterwards, he began working with hi-8 video footage. I'm really drawn to the photos of his family for how natural, raw, and unplanned they are. They show their enviroment and lifestyles with complete honesty.
