Sally Mann
Dicecream Magazine📷Sally Mann (born May 1, 1951) is an American photographer, widely known for her large-format, black-and-white photographs—at first of her young children, then later of landscapes suggesting decay and death.
Her images appear antique due to her interest in early photographic technology; Mann employs an 8 x 10 bellows camera to achieve this effect, in addition to experimenting with platinum and bromide printing processes.
When Time magazine named her “America’s Best Photographer” in 2001, it wrote:
Mann recorded a combination of spontaneous and carefully arranged moments of childhood repose and revealingly — sometimes unnervingly — imaginative play...
...What the outraged critics of her child nudes failed to grant was the patent devotion involved throughout the project and the delighted complicity of her son and daughters in so many of the solemn or playful events...
...No other collection of family photographs is remotely like it, in both its naked candor and the fervor of its maternal curiosity and care.
