Anyone here enjoy Sally Mann's work?
I'm interested in buying one of her photography books- I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on which one they like best, etc.

Apart from a few good shots, can be summed up in 3 words

"Pedophilia for cowards"

We don't need to see her children naked. No one does.

If you think her work is thinly disguised pedophilia, you are an idiot. There are differences between pedophilia and art. One of those differences is intent. If you've ever read any of her interviews, she goes into detail about why she chooses nude posing. A picture doesn't necessarily have to be "pretty" to be considered "beautiful." Sometimes the most beautiful works of art, be it paintings, photographs etc. have a hint of what people consider "ugliness" or "roughness" about them. They can't all be sunsets and pretty flowers. She attempts to capture life the way she sees it, raw and unfiltered. Anyone who questions anyone's artistic sense is a prick.
And also, are you implying that people are cowards because they are too afraid to look at the "real-stuff?"
Looking at "real" pedophilia is more brave?

My personal belief is this: Anyone who doesn't like her work because it just isn't their thing, that's cool. On the other hand, people who throw dangerous words like "pedo" around and protest her artwork can all suck a dick.

Ive got no problem with art, but the fact is, her work dose things that are just not needed, and bring nothing to the photo...

This is all am saying on it, as soon as "art" gets brought into an argument, shitstorm ensues,

I like her work but be prepared for anyone who sees that you own the book to think you're a pedo

I think that her stuff is interesting. It certainly does bring some suggestive scenarios to the table. That probably makes people uncomfortable. But then again, that is a lot of why her work is so well known. Art is supposed to make you think and her work makes most think about what exactly it is that they are looking at. What conclusion they come to is up to the individual.

Me personally, I like the tones and the dramatic lighting but get a little creeped out by some of the expressions on the kid's faces which are not those of kids but more like adults.

Remember folks: If you can make it look "arty" it isn't pedo! If you don't have a good enough photographer then you're off to prison to be murdered and raped! This makes perfect sense.

Immediate Family is my favorite book of hers. I also have "At 12." I did a presentation on both for one of my college classes featuring her work which contained slides of naked girls.

I'm a girl though too. So I could probably get away with liking her work to normal people.

Ask a male friend to give the same presentation. See what happens.

Great books, all of them. Still wondering if its the kids or the photog that makes the pics tho. As far as people photography goes, it doesn't get any better.
