Sally Mann is a prominent American photographer known for her large-format black and white photographs of people and places in her immediate surroundings.

Her work explores themes of family, loss, childhood autonomy, and the American landscape. Mann has received numerous prestigious awards, including Guggenheim Fellowships and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Royal Photographic Society. She is also an author, having published several books of photography as well as memoirs and essays.[1,2]
