Sally Mann inspires.

Because we’re not always moved by an artist, it’s important to aknowledge when it does happen and enjoy the magic of the moment as much as we can.
This is why I’d like to share Sally Mann’s photography. Although her art is controversial, in my opinion, she has a rare way of capturing the beauty of humans, and her children in particular. Using a technique (I’ll let you read about it) that gives a kind of foggy effect to her images, she’s able to show the harshest aspects of life in a smooth way, almost as if she’d take you by the hand and say: “Look, it’s death. It’s terrible and scary, but that’s okay. Try to accept it, it’s part of who you are, and it’s your future.”
Her art can be seen at the musée de L’Elysée, in Lausanne, until the 6th of June.

You are so right.
I was lucky enough to discover her work earlier this year and was touched by the emotions her black and white pictures of children convey. It is almost as if her camera captures the true essence of childhood – part mischief, part innocence and some kind of seduction.
I am deeply touched by her work :)

Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion!
The true essence of childhood, indeed. You’re talking about seduction; do you know that she’s quite controversial? Some say she’s not a very good mother, showing her naked children to the world. I don’t think there’s anything obscene to it, they’re kids! But some object… What do you think? And where did you discover her work?
