Photography-Sally Mann
This image of Sally Mann's was one of my favourite of her's because of how captivatity the image is and the message behind it. The use of adolescent girls to portray/ question a provocative female role is overwhelming and disturbing which is what makes her work so strong. She uses children to create a shocking image which others would be afarid to create. I also like the use of a hidden person to further question the meaning behind the image and the larger picture beyond the camera lens. Moreover this image works well being central because it gives the viewer a direct and central view of the young girl making it all the more shocking and stronger.
Three really good images. It's interesting that they are all black and white; perhaps this indicates a strong desire to do more. You write really well about the images, very clear and thoughtful.
