I just find Sally Mann’s work so intriguing and fascinating. Her work is defiantly high class and top notch in my eyes. Every single image tells a different image and with little in the image also still is so amazingly interesting. I also love the way she doesn’t work in colour, I love the black and white and the kind of sepia. I admire how her photographs are so real, and are a lifestyle, she isn’t trying to portray anything fake and she manages to catch the real essence of a character.

“Few photographers of any time or place have matched Sally Mann’s steadiness of simple eyesight, her serene technical brilliance, and the clearly communicated eloquence she derives from her subjects, human and otherwise – subjects observed with an ardor that is all but indistinguishable from love.”
