I was expecting something different when we discussed the artist, but was surprised with how amazing her photographs were. The emphasis on light was particularly interesting. The images of her kids were beautiful pictures that shouldn't have been criticized. Sally Mann's photography is unique in a way because it deals with her immediate family, yet the pictures are not just everyday images. They incorporate light, angles, backgrounds, etc. and turn out to be amazing shots. I liked her explanation of the children photos because it makes you realize she took them because that is the life she knew, and that it wasn't for a "pornographic" interest as many people criticized her for. The shadow and lighting are illustrated in the picture I posted, and I really liked this photograph.
