Sally Mann
Contemporary
A lifelong Virginia resident, Sally Mann is a skilled photographer who works using the Collodion process, meaning that she develops using wet plates--glass plates with a photographic emulsion of silver halides suspended in gelatin. She received a BA, as well as an MA, in writing from Hollins College, and then went on to create a number of photographic portfolios. Many of her pictures are of her children, often unclothed, and a a lot of these were used in her "Immediate Family" series. She also published "At Twelve: Portraits of Young Women" and "Mother Land: Recent Landscapes of Georgia and Virginia".
The above pictures, done in Mann's typical style, portray her children.
This picture is from "Mother Land".
