Chosen work from photographer Sally Mann

Sally Mann is an American photographer who is best known for her black and white photos of her children,'Immediate Family', and for the collection 'What Remains'.

Sally Mann is one of few photografphers who still doesn't use digital photography. She uses old techniques and lenses which adds an old fashioned look to the portraits and gives the viewer the feeling that the photographs are of another world. A fairytale kind of world.
What I love about these portraits is that they are somewhat controversial. They provoke me in a sense and I like that. The beautiful children posing as adults and the landscapes around them look absolutely amazing..
These photographs are primarily from her Immediate Family collection.
