My favorite Sally Mann photographs is her self portrait that is six across and 3 down, Was Ever Love, Hephaestus, and Emmett #3. The use of the ambrotype process for her photographs is very successful and gives each an unusual feeling and appearance. Her angling and frame use is very interesting in the way how it portrays masculinity from a female on a nude male. Also how it veers from traditional viewing of masculinity. It is interesting to see how her self portrait does not appear to be the same person due to the process of which the prints went through and the difference in angles, print quality, and tonal range of each print.
