Sally Mann.

Sally Mann.

Sally mann, is a famous photographer who photographed literally everything that was around her, she made everything that looks boring and turned it into something beautiful. With Sally's work she photographed mainly her family, lanscapes and dead bodies or dead body parts. Her husband, Larry, mentioned that Sally has always got a camera in her hand and if you were there you had to be part of the image. Sally mann is a big inspiration to young photographers as she see's beauty in everything and she believes that the things that are close to you make the art the best. I don't think she got her inspiration from another artist that is known but she did get inspiration the old-fashioned way from a book called 'world of artist'. she came to the intention of photographing her children. By doing this she saw things differently when she had her children I think that if she photographed her children then she understood that her inspiration was right in front of her nose to photograph her family. Which she finds beautiful. When Sally photographs things she does it so she doesn't forget things. Sally wasn't the easiest child to raise, her father didn't want to disappoint and was a very proper and demand her parents were very popular in there community and never paid attention to sally. She met her husband when she was 18 and have been married 33 years. I really like Sally Mann's work as she has got inspiration the old-fashioned way which i find interesting, With getting her inspiration from one little thing and then making her images to make them her own is truly amazing and she has always got a camera in her hand so this proves that she is passionate about photography.
