Born in Lexington Virginia in 1951, Sally Mann is best known for taking portraits of her young children. In her early career Sally worked as a staff photographer at Washington and Lee Universities. She studied at several schools such as Putney, Bennington and Friends World College and a B.A. at Hollins University. Sally Mann used a 100-year old 8 x 10 bellows view camera to photograph her work. There was much controversy about her series on her children stating it was on the border of being child pornography. She photographed many natural aspects of her childrens innocence and play. I feel i can relate to her images since they remind me of my childhood.
