I have been looking at the picture of Sally Mann’s children Emmett, Jessie and Virginia, and focusing on the messages behind the picture. I first started off by asking a range of questions that I wanted to find out about the picture, such as who were the three children in the picture. Also in the first week i found out the that children in the picture was Sally Mann’s the photographers, and that the name of the photograph was the names of the three children. In the second week i was looking in-depth at the picture and focusing how the children were in focus and how the background was out of focus. I also found out that Sally Mann’s youngest daughter Virginia was named after her mother, and Sally Mann has also taken a range of pictures of the two of them together. This was in the series of photographs from ‘Immediate family’, where the picture of the three children comes from.
