Life Hurts

I came across Zach Gold while undergoing some research for another project. In all honesty, I liked every single piece of Gold's work. In particular I really enjoyed his series of work, "Life Hurts". This project portrays a number of images showing people clearly hurting themselves. They are all in black and white, bu I think this added contrast really emphasizes what is being shown in the photos.

The images that I have chosen here would have to be my favourite. Gold has captured each incident either in mid air or during it happening. I think this is both clever and visually aesthetic. The fact that each image has the words 'life hurts' printed clearly over the situation, makes the viewer engage more with what is actually happening.
