David Bailey

Sally Mann could have got some of her inspiration by looking at David Bailey’s picture of a lady in the nude who looks like she is boxing. In the photograph the lady looks strong with the actions of the hands being in a boxing position, almost like she is ready to have a fight with someone. The viewer on the other hand never finds out who the model is readdy to fight or why she is in that position. The picture is also in black and white the same as the series of Sally Mann’s photographs, with the light highlighting one side of the models face, which is almost the same in the picture of Sally Mann’s children. The picture is called Jane Birkin which is the models name in the by David Bailey, and it was created in 1969.
