Further artist research - Linda K Aplern
Linda K Alpern is a documentary photographer situated in New York. She has spent a good portion of her life photography in and around the city. The main inspirations for her work are her family and her previous vocation, working as a registered nurse back in the 70's. This is an ongoing project that Alpern is carrying out named 'documenting life on-duty'. The project takes on a documentary style as the photographs that she takes throughout the project are accompanied by writing, this will include parts taken from interviews that Alpern conducts including herself and nurses in the hospital.
For my own ongoing project I was inspired by the work of Alpern purely for the way that she is executing her current project 'documenting life on-duty', including photographs along with text taken from interviews she had with nurses at the hospital. This is similar to my own project because I am looking to include text along with my images, text which I will gain trhough asking each of the bikers that I photograph a series of questions including a bit of background information about themselves as well as their experience as being a female biker and any judgement that they have faced during this time.
