“Body Farm” Series, Taken by Sally Mann

Sally Mann took many controversial photos. Early in her photography career she captured moments of her children in the nude, which she argued was a natural eye for mothers, but was considered child pornography by viewers. Later on in her career, she did a series called “Body Farm” where she photographed decaying corpses. The black and white color within this series really adds to the dark and grotesque theme. Corpses are usually something people never see, or wish not to see, but Mann captures clear moments of a corpse decaying.
