Sally Mann books

Immediate Family

Sally Mann exploited her children for notoriety's sake. She knows it. Every time she is interviewed and questioned about these pictures, you can see the tension. Her body language confirms her regret. So-called liberal minds endorse the nude photographs, reassuring each other that it's OK to look. It's not. What child would say, "Let me take my clothes off, mommy, so you can take a picture of me. I'll be the most popular kid in school." Her success came at a heavy price, one that she won't have to pay.

At Twelve: Portraits of Young Women

I would expect more from Sally Mann. This book was so lame I threw it in the trash. The photos were all in black and white and I was expecting more of he great nude photos but there were almost none. The book was overpriced and so very disappointing. Skip this and consider some of the works from Jock Sturges. Don't waste your time or money.

Sally Mann: Proud Flesh

Children, landscape, lovers-these subjects are almost as common to the photographic lexicon as light itself. But Sally Mann's take on these iconic themes, rendered through both traditional and esoteric processes, is anything but common. Astonishingly original both in imagery and technique, Mann's work consistently challenges the viewer: in her hands, experiences drawn from daily life are rendered both disquieting and sublime. Now, having studied relationships between parent and child, artist and subject, life and death, Mann investigates the bonds between husband and wife.

Still Time

In my view, three works by this gifted photographic artist should be treated as a triptych: this volume, At Twelve, and Immediate Family. Taken as an ensemble, they mutually inform each other both for the range of stylistic and technical mastery exhibited by Ms. Mann, as well as demonstrating the breadth of her photographic vision.

The most recently published of the three works, Still Time is also the only one that displays both black/white and color photos. The subject matter includes portrayals unique to this book and also a brief selection from the two volumes mentioned above.
