Description
Sally Mann is an American photographer known for her compelling and controversial work, particularly in the genre of documentary and fine art photography. Born in 1951 in Lexington, Virginia, Mann gained recognition for her intimate and often provocative images that explore themes such as family, childhood, sexuality, and the American South. Mann's photography career took off in the late 1970s when she began documenting her three children's daily lives on their rural farm in Virginia. These photographs, captured in black and white, often portrayed childhood innocence, vulnerability, and the complexities of family relationships. The series, titled "Immediate Family," garnered both critical acclaim and controversy due to its frank depictions of nudity and the boundary between art and exploitation.Throughout her career, Mann has continued to explore personal and social themes. She has photographed landscapes, ruins, and the human body, often using antiquated photographic processes such as wet plate collodion, which adds a haunting and ethereal quality to her images. Mann's work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions, and she has received numerous awards and accolades for her contributions to the field of photography. Her photographs are part of prestigious collections in museums around the world. Sally Mann's photography challenges societal norms and raises questions about identity, memory, and the human experience. Her evocative and often controversial images have made her one of the most significant and influential photographers of her generation.
