Nudity

Some people feel that as the children are in the nude they see the pictures as ‘child pornography’, and some other people feel that the series of pictures of the children are ‘championed’. When Sally Mann was a young girl she used to walk to school in bare foot. This connotes how she see herself with nature, which could relate with her pictures of her children being in the nude. In the picture with the three children both girls have their hair down, this represents the nature look and the way they haven’t got any clothes no helps build on once theme of nature. Also in the picture Sally Mann’s son Emmett is only semi naked as he has his trousers on, this is hard to view as it is a mid shot of the children.
