Sally Mann
Mann shares with her readers glimpses into the life of her family and its children. Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of her woodland home in Virginia, these photos reveal a family so familiar and comfortable with their familial roles that only the photographer seems concerned with the nuances that shape these lives. We, as readers, feel like family members as we share the unposed events that define this family. Sally Mann's three children, Emmett, Jessie, and Virginia, experience the type of clothing optional, adventurous, and playful childhood that seems almost utopian.
Her work has been described as eroticising children. Indeed the children, often nude or partially clothed, present sensual poses to the photographer. However, Mann argues that these are the innocent poses of children that are often times misinterpreted by adults.
Immediate Family by Sally Mann Of all the
images made since the invention of photography, the vast majority are concerned with
family records. In these masterful photographs of Sally Mann's three children, the truths
this exceptional artist reveals transcend her specific family and border on universal
myth.

Still Time by Sally Mann A
work that celebrates an artist whose acute perceptions and imagination embrace not only
the photographs of children for which she is renowned, but also earlier landscapes, and
the unexpected, compelling forays into color and abstract photography. 60 four-color and
black-and- white duotone photographs.
Softcover, Color and Black/White, $29.95
At Twelve by Sally Mann A
reprint of her well received book that presents girls at or around twelve years old. There
are one or two semi-nudes but the book was controversial because it offers a view of
coming of age that includes sensuality as a part of the whole process.
Softcover, Black/White, $27.95
