Sally Mann Analysis

As a part of the celebration in 1993 of the universal declaration of Human rights, her print out back was selected by international historians as one of 30 paintings and sculptures for reproduction on a stamp representing an article of the declaration.

Despite of the difficulty, Maloof searched and looked for all people who were possibly connected to Vivian Maier. The focus of the documentary film revolved around the journey and the quest of John Maloof in discovering more about the woman who has an extraordinary gift in taking exemplary photographs. The film is mostly devoted to interviews and testimonials from different people who had connections with Maier’s life, mostly the children who grew up in Maier’s care, and from the two contemporary masters, Joel Meyerwitz and Mary Ellen Mark. Vivian Maier was mostly remembered as a tall, awkward, and oddly-dressed nanny in New York and Chicago.

On January 31, 2001 Logan Marr was found dead in an unfinished basement, yards of duct tape surrounding her, and a foster mother claiming that she just fell and hit her head. Sally Schofield, a respected caseworker at Maine's Department of Health and Human Services, had taken Logan in 2000. By 2001, 5 year old Logan would be dead. “I just want Sally Schofield out of my life forever,” Logan’s mother says, 16 years later, “She’s ruined my children’s lives and mine. She took an innocent child from this world for no reason.” Logan’s death was a tragedy that highlighted the problems in Maine's child welfare systems. The mistakes that were made were unforgivable, but a lesson learned from DHHS.

Caitlyn Hatch is a twenty year old student from Amherst, Massachusetts, who spends her weekends roaming abandoned buildings all over the western part of the state. What she does in these buildings is take photographs, however, she has not always been interested in the medium. Photography had never been her first choice for what she would possibly study at university, and she never imagined it as being something she would want to pursue professionally. Originally, she was intent on being a graphic designer. She had begun to play around with an online photoshop app, editing pictures taken by other people and was sure graphic design was for her, that is, until she got her first camera. She got her first camera at age fourteen for Christmas, one of the big black Nikon digital cameras. While she had never seriously considered photography before, she began to play around with her new camera. The novelty of it all coupled with the support of her father, who himself was an amateur nature photographer throughout his twenties, started the fire in her to take up this art and learn as much about it as she could.

The foundations of the American government were forged during the colonial period because America’s founding fathers based most, if not all, laws and ideas on the premise of the nations that colonized America. Every nation that helped to colonize and make the New World known has had some impact on what is established in their respected jurisdiction. The Enlightenment also had a major impact on how the American government would decide to rule its people. Since the Enlightenment began shortly before the Revolution of America, the idea that philosophy could act as a legitimate source of authority was fairly new (Princeton.edu), any nation who implemented this would have been greatly influenced by the colonists. Devotion to England and her people also helped mold America into what it soon became.

The characters Sherman portrays, lighting, clothing and expressions are cliché of what is present in cinema, so much that viewers of her work have told Sherman that they ‘remember the movie’ that the image is derived from, yet Sherman having no film in mind at all.[iv] Thus showing that her word has a pastiche of past cinematic genres, and how women are portrayed in cinema and photography and how Sherman has manipulated the ‘male gaze’ around her images so they become ironic and cliché.

Sally Mann photographs the things that she is closest to. “The things that are close to you are the things you can photograph the best, unless you photograph what you love, you’re

No other artist has ever made as extended or complex career of presenting herself to the camera as has Cindy Sherman. Yet, while all of her photographs are taken of Cindy Sherman, it is impossible to class call her works self-portraits. She has transformed and staged herself into as unnamed actresses in undefined B movies, make-believe television characters, pretend porn stars, undifferentiated young women in ambivalent emotional states, fashion mannequins, monsters form fairly tales and those which she has created, bodies with deformities, and numbers of grotesqueries. Her work as been praised and embraced by both feminist political groups and apolitical mainstream art. Essentially, Sherman's photography is part of the culture and

The article, “Looking at Women” by Scott Russell Sanders published in The Norton Reader, 13th edition, embarks on a journey to find out why men look at women. Sanders starts off with his personal encounter as adolescence were he was told not to look at women out of lustful desire, because women would not want to be stared at like that. He also wondered from his early college days, were his bunkmate had pictures of nude women and he and others would endlessly stir at these pictures. Sanders questions whether women enjoy being looked at by men and how should men look at women. He uses quotes from people and facts to find answers to these questions. He also analyses the problem from global perspective. He wonders why women try so hard to look good. He concludes with the fact that women like looking good, but they sometimes don't like it when men stare at them. Sanders opines in his thesis that " to be turned into an object – whether by the brush of a painter or the lens of a photographer or the eye of a voyeur, whether by hunger or poverty or enslavement, by mugging or rape, bullets or bombs, by hatred, racism, car crashes, fires, or falls – is for each of us the deepest dread; and to reduce another person to an object is the primal wrong” (188).

Mrs. M’s new Physician who has only seen her twice has the opinion that she needs to be in a long-term care facility. Mrs. M recently fell and was admitted to the hospital, the Physician believes that due to her age, her health will continue to decline. The Physician contacted the community health nurse and “ordered” her to tell Mrs. M. that she should see her home and move into a long-term care facility. Mrs. M was upset and did not agree with this decision. The principle of autonomy applied, “the right to choose what will happen to oneself as well as the accountability for making individual choices” (Guido, 2015). Most elderly peoples biggest fear is giving up their home and independence. If a person is mentally competent, no one can

Sally Mann’s style incorporates black and white photographs of her children, which are presented with “ordinary moments of childhood, suspended in time and transformed into aesthetic objects, takes on a distorted, even uncanny quality” (Arnason and Mansfield 719). Sally Mann photographed The New Mothers in 1989. This photograph’s most dominant elements are value and space. Having the photographs black and white really enhances the visibility of values. Most of Mann’s work is outside and has a define depth of field to blur out the background and emphasize the focus of the children. This compositional style helps to identify the high and low key values within the photos. The clothes, the reflection of the sun on the girls’ hair, and the girls fair skin are the part of the image that show high-key values, while the rest of the photo in more middle and low-key values. The intense depth of field increases a feeling of space for the viewer. In the photo you can see that the two young girls and their stroller is all in a line horizontally. Behind the girls you can notice they are outside in a open area because of the blurred grass and trees behind them. This photograph’s most dominant principles are movement and variety. The depth of field and lack of distraction in the background of the photo allows your eye to focus and move around with the subjects in the photo. The height of the subjects forms a triangle shape, which is

Henry Peach Robinson, born on July 9th, 1830, was a British photographer and prominent author on photography. Known as “the King of Photographic Picture Making,” he began his life’s work as a painter but would become one of the most influential photographers of the late 19th century. He was a prolific advocate for photography as an art form and is well known for his role in “pictorialism,” which, according to Encyclopedia Britannica, is “an approach to photography that emphasizes beauty of subject matter, tonality, and composition rather than the documentation of reality.”
