Sally Mann

One of my favourite alternative photographers. 

Mann uses the wet plate collodion process that i have studied extensively and am desperate to try out.

Her series "The family and the Land" was at the photographers gallery in London a while back and i had the pleasure of going up to see the pictures as well as a full length documentary that showed how Mann works with her kids, the way the process is performed and also revealed more about what inspires her to create art in this way. If you do like her work, try and watch it, its well worth the time in my opinion.
