Sally Mann
(1951–)
is an American Photographer best known for her large black-and-white photographs—at first of her young children, then later of landscapes suggesting decay and death.
One image of her 4-year-old daughter (Virginia at 4) was censored by the Wall Street Journal with black bars over her eyes, nipples and pubic area. Mann herself considered these photographs to be “natural through the eyes of a mother, since she has seen her children in every state: happy, sad, playful, sick, bloodied, angry and even naked.” Critics agreed, saying her “vision in large measure [is] accurate, and a welcome corrective to familiar notions of youth as a time of unalloyed sweetness and innocence,” and that the book (1988) “created a place that looked like Eden, then cast upon it the subdued and shifting light of nostalgia, sexuality and death.”

Jan Groover
(April 24, 1943 – January 1, 2012)
was an American Photographer who lived for many years in France, w/ her husband, painter and critic Bruce Boice. She was born in New Jersey and died in 2012 at France. Groover received a BFA degree in 1965 from Pratt Institute, and a MA in 1970 from Ohio State University.
Groover creates formalist still lifes.
"In 1978 an exhibition of her dramatic still-life photographs
of objects in her kitchen sink caused a sensation.
When one appeared on the cover of Artforum magazine,
it was a signal that photography had arrived in the art world –
Complete with a marketplace to support it.” -New York Times
