Goldin started taking black-and-white photographs as a teenager in Boston, before she moved to New York City in 1978. Goldin had no prior formal education in photography, and she was heavily influenced by fashion photography, Andy Warhol’s early films, Federico Fellini, French and Italian Vogue, Larry Clark,  Guy Bourdin and Helmut Newton. Her celebratory black-and-white photographs of drag queens prefigure her later signature cibachrome work such as The Ballad of Sexual Dependency.
