    In Jim Goldberg’s Raised by Wolves, he integrates himself with the runway adolescent and get to know their story. Goldberg take picture of their lives as well as their feeling to include in the book, and I see a lot of the sad writing from the adolescent about their life. In addition, I feel like Goldberg’s style of photo is very direct with dark hue in his work depicting the dark time for some of the runaway adolescents. Through his work of “Raise by Wolves”, I can see how the subjects suffer from domestic violence and drugs without having a second thought. On the other hand, Martin Parr takes a different approach on socially concerned photography.
