Sally Mann

Sally Mann - Photography

This movie was overall a treat. I had seen some of the photographs presented but never had I actually heard of the photographer responsible for them. It was strangely difficult for me to follow her line of thought at first, she seemed to be all over the place, and her techniques to achieve the perfect picture appeared to go overboard at times... but when the pictures she took were shown to us, I was absolutely blown away. The majority of her work was breathtaking, from her pictures of her husband to those of her dog. I thoroughly admired her compositions and her capability to capture really delicate moments. I did wonder several times what her children thought of her work, especially since they were her main subject for many years. It would have been interesting if we heard more from them.
