Sally Mann was born in Lexington, Virginia. The focus of her work is mainly on the vulnerability of the young girls pictured, as well as the strength young girls carry with them. I believe the black and white photos and the strong lighting draws more attention to the highlights in the images and makes them more unique and meaningful.

BULB F29 ISO 2oo 10" F20 ISO 200 3.2" F22 ISO 200 To paint with light and photograph it, I had to work with several different f-stops, shutter speeds, ISO, and lighting. We were successful with capturing the light within photography, but there are some things that could be improved. For example, a slower shutter speed causes the background light to filter in more, instead of the background being completely dark. Also, there are spots across the images.
For this experiment, my group chose to take photographs outside for better lighting affects. We adjusted the ISO and aperture settings and practiced using gold, silver, white, and black reflectors as well as a light diffuser. Reflectors are used for bouncing light off the surface and onto the subject being photographed. The purpose of this assignment was to practice our skills and improving on different ways to take photographs. I think these photos turned out well because most of the subject's face is not in shadow, and my group was successful with using reflectors.
I like these photographs taken by Edward Weston because they are in black and white, which I feels gives them more depth and makes them more unique. I also am intrigued by the texture and emphasis put on them by the black and white filter. Each photograph is very elaborate, and you can see every detail in the photographs.
