Sally Mann -Faces

I feel like this collection of images by sally mann show expressions captured by the people, as if they didn’t know the photo was being taken. I like the effects from the old camera and the out of focus features.

With parts of the face being out of focus this also gives the impression that these were snapshots .

The eyes were very important to me as I think in sally mann’s images these are the main focal point, they are always sharp and clear, they almost tell the story of the photograph. The image above is my favourite out of the collection, as even though the eyes are very dark they stand out and make you question what is going on in the mans head and what he is thinking. 

With my own photographs I tried to take close up photographs of people during conversation to give a more ‘natural’ look. I took photos of different textures to add to my images on photo shop to try and give a similar effect.
