Sally Mann
Sally Mann is a well known American photographer. She started photographing at a young age and once she got a family of her own she photographed them, best known for her large black-and-white photographs.
She took up photography at Putney, where, she claims, her motive was to be alone in the darkroom with her boyfriend, She made her photographic debut at Putney, with an image of a nude classmate. Her father encouraged her interest in photography, his 5x7 camera became the basis of her use of large format cameras today.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Mann
Sally mann enjoyed photographing her children. This photograph explains her children by acting like mothers while sally photographs them, Photographing family shows a lot of thought and shows how the picture works. I truly enjoy reading and looking though sally manns back and white photographs, giving me a clear indication of what is happening in the photograph.
