Sally Mann (1951-present) is an American photographer who is well known for her black and white controversial photos of her children and for her landscape photography. Mann is a three-time recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts fellowship. Mann was also named “America’s Best Photographer” by Time magazine in 2001. Her photography was widely viewed due to the controversial nature of it but they showed every aspect of the children’s lives. The black and white contrasting image shown above helps to break the subject away from the background and create more contrast, which I will attempt in my homework.
