Sally Mann is a photographer who would often use her children as her subjects until she felt everything started looking like advertisements and then she started to capture the beauty of the landscape around her. She had most or all photos in black and white and although not all the pictures were beautiful, they caught your attention and drew you in. I can understand why some people wouldn't be very fond of her because she has a rough personality and the photos of her children naked are really not "normal" in this day and age. I think she has an extremely good eye for a photo that just captures the beauty around her but it's hard to love the photo when the children seemed so taken advantage of as subjects. They didn't want to constantly take photos and be there for their mother's benefit. Other than that she seems like a good photographer, but not so special of a person. :(
