Immediate Family: The book consists of 65 black-and-white photographs of her three children, all under the age of 10. Many of the pictures were taken at the family’s remote summer cabin along the river, where the children played and swam in the nude. Many explore typical childhood themes (skinny dipping, reading the funnies, dressing up, vamping, napping, playing board games) but others touch on darker themes such as insecurity, loneliness, injury, sexuality and death. The controversy on its release was intense, including accusations of child pornography (both in America and abroad) and of contrived fiction with constructed tableaux.

I think her photographs are beautiful, and the fact that they are her children, there is an immediate connection in the pictures. They’re so natural and simplistic but so effective, some of her photos are quite controversial too and I like that. One of my favourite photographs is the one of her daughter where she is holding a cigarette, its such a beautiful photo but is more risky and shes not scared of the publics reaction.
