Inspiration

Family means a lot of Sally Mann this is clearly connoted by her pictures of her family. An example of hypertextuality is how Sally Mann’s father was also a photographer and she would always you at his work. She always wanted to use the same effects, this is a main reason why her pictures are in black and white, as she would use the same style camera as her father would have used. This was the first roll-film box camera. An example of how the viewer can connote the messages for Sally Mann taking pictures of her family, this is seen by a video clip on youtube. Sally Mann say’s on the clip called what Remains: The life and work of Sally Mann, ‘the things that are close to you are the things you can photograph the best, and unless you photograph what you love your not know make good art’. This connotes how Sally Mann can relate to her family as her art and how special it makes her feel to takes pictures of them and to show the world her family and be proud of her family. This also relates back to the pictures how the children good strong and proud as they stand there all together.
