Sally Mann

Sally Mann is a very interesting photographer. A lot of her work done in the early years of her career seem to have been influenced by her father's work. Her father, a doctor, used to photograph her in the nude. Sally Mann also spent a lot of time photographing her own children.

In her book titled "Immediate Family," Sally writes that “many of these pictures are intimate, but most are of ordinary things every mother has seen. I take pictures when they are bloodied or sick or naked or angry.” This made me feel like she was photographing them in their most vulnerable moments. Kids are so pure and honest, and I think that her photographs of her own children in that specific book definitely portray their innocence.
