Photography Appreciation
American photographer Sally Mann is known for her powerful images of childhood, sexuality and death. Many of her images have provoked controversy among the religious right; however, admirers have embraced her work for its honesty and innocence of childhood.
Explaining her work, Mann stated best, "I didn't expect the controversy over the pictures of my children. I was just a mother photographing her children as they were growing up. I was exploring different subjects with them."
