I have never really heard about or had an interest in Sally Mann, but after reading her interview with 'Timeout' I learnt a lot about what her interests our and what she does. I thought it was good because she shared her personal views of photography and why as an occupation it can be, and is, so interesting. She has her own mind and does her pieces for herself and not as worried as others would be at what critics or the public think of her work. She has her own style so others cannot critisise it because it is different and she doesn't copy others.
There have been disputes about her pictures of her children and the ethical side of them. Some see them as art but others may critisise them for showing revealing pictures of her children. Sally Mann considers the photophotos to be “natural through the eyes of a mother, since she has seen her children in every state: happy, sad, playful, sick, bloodied, angry and even naked.: The press response to this was huge with critics agreeing and disagreeing with what Mann thinks.
