Sally Mann

Sally Mann well known photographer. Sally Mann become famous because the way she photographed her own children. These are beautiful photographs, but at the same time are very controversial. Poses, in which Mann photographed her kids were often simply very erotic, because of that, she was often criticised of being too lascivious, inappropriate, too brave...but the way she captures "the moments", they way she hold her broken camera(broken lens) ...we can see deep endeavor to understanding the childhood- not only documenting this process.

Lack of the colour in photographs is breaking away from connections of the context "here and now", and make them more than just chronicle of "growing up" , and this timeless dimension is noticed in every single photo.

Mann she was born in 1951, in Lexington, Virginia. She started taking photographs during her studies, and when she finished she become full-time photographer at university in her home town.
