Sally Mann




Sally Mann is a very interesting and unique artist that has a different sense of art and life all together. Previous to watching the short documentary on her, our Professor Small informed our class of the controversy the public had on Mann's photographs. Some saw her as a child photographer, taking pictures of her children in poses naked when they were small. But if you look beyond the picture and looked into the message and expressions that she captures with her camera and through the photograph, you can see the beauty that she saw. Mann was raised in a Atheist household and life and you can see that her passion and life is dedicated to photography. He kids say that she lives and looks at everything through a photographers view, (as art) and that she lives through her work and her photos are like her religion.
