Sally Mann (* 1951) is an US-American photographer.
Sally Mann's most famous work is the photographic portrait of her three children Jessie, Virginia, and Emmett, whose development she captured from birth with a large-format camera. The resulting images also include unspectacular things such as bloody knees, chocolate smeared mouths and the like. She calls the work Immediate Family. Her pictures also show the children nude, which earned her criticism and moral accusations for depicting minors in the buff.
Further works are landscape photos in the south of the USA.
