Larry Sultan was born in New York in 1946. He got his BA in political science from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1968. And went on to get his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1973.
His main project was a series of photographs he called Pictures From Home. He worked on them for nearly a decade. He wanted to show the true going ons in suburbia, not all of the susie home-maker stuff. So he documented his mother and father's daily lives as well as their relationship, all their fights, stern words, and all their happy moments as well.
I like his work because it is raw, not posed for or prepared for, it is in the moment.
