This collection by Sally Mann is titled "Family Pictures." I looked through all her photographs before I came to pick this one. To be honest, her photographs do not spark any inspiration for me so it was very difficult for me to choose one to write about. However, this photo brings me back to my relationship with my brother.
However, the relationship between two sisters is shown by the spread of mirrors on the floor, the makeup that is being held by the supposedly older sister, the makeup lying open on the floor. There is a certain tenderness in this photo, also enhanced by the light streaming in from the negative space behind the car. It most definitely captures the essence of family, especially the dog that is running into the frame. Technically, the photo is average. Mrs. Mann knows how to capture a good photograph and get the highlights and the dark shadows so that the detail show clearly.
Overall, good photo, however not the most technically intriguing or thought-provoking.
