Sally Mann is an American photographer who was born in 1951. She takes photographs of landscapes and other things but she is most known for her works with her children. When her children were growing up they were always walking around naked so she just took photographs of them. She says that it was not because she was interested in children but just because they were there. These photographs by Sally Mann of her children really display what innocence in a child should look like. These photographs show a child’s innocence and curiosity. In the first image Naptime, the girl almost looks angelic. She looks like a perfect doll just lying there; like she has no care in the world and that she has the perfect life. The second photograph of the girl in the water really displays the idea of what is unknown. She is crouched in the water completely oblivious that she is naked just staring at the water and she seems to be wondering what lies beneath the surface. I absolutely love that all of Sally Mann’s photographs are in black and white. I think that they give them more depth that way. It gives it a more classical old style feel to them that adds character.
