American photographer, Sally Mann, lives a full life as an busy mother to three. She is married to a full time attorney that suffers from several physical illnesses that can put a burden on her life as well. Luckily it has not held her or her family back. She began her career as a photographer at Washington and Lee University where she had her first exhibition of her well known black and white photography. She created several more collections, but is best known for her third one called "Immediate Family." This collection is of her three children expressing themes and emotions from happiness to insecurity and death. When this collection became public, there was a lot of controversy over the issue of pornography. Mann photographed her daughter naked. It was later settled and decided that it was natural in the mother's eyes and in reality, harmlessly expressed the truth and innocence.
