Sally Mann is an American photographer known for her striking and controversial images of the American South. She was born in Lexington, Virginia in 1951 and began taking photographs as a child. Mann received her BA from Hollins College in 1974 and her MFA from the School of the Visual Arts in New York City in 1975. Mann's early work focused on her family, particularly her three children. Her series "Immediate Family" (1984-1991) features intimate and often provocative images of her children at various stages of development. The series sparked controversy and debate over the portrayal of children in art. Mann has continued to explore the American South in her work, including landscapes, architecture, and the history of the region. She has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions and her work is held in major museum collections around the world. Mann has also published several books, including "Immediate Family" (1992), "Deep South" (2005), and "Proud Flesh" (2009).
