Book Reviews of At Twelve: Portraits of Young Women
Book Review: Solidly beautiful pictures
Summary: 3 Stars
Maybe I missed something. The pictures are beautiful, and they are supposed to be an attempt to capture the essence of young women on the cusp of becoming adults. What I got was pictures of young women-- missed the whole "becoming" thing. I could just be thick, but this one just passed me by devoid of any emotion.Book Review: Lacking Depth
Summary: 2 Stars
Although I realise that Mlle. Mann is seeking to confine her subject matter as the title suggests, I don't find it broke any ground in the field of photography. She tends to focus on "real people" under real conditions, but this has been done before.Book Review: Not what you might expect
Summary: 2 Stars
While the black-and-white photography is as beautiful as one might expect from an experienced professional, those who have viewed the work of David Hamilton or Jock Sturges will be disappointed at the subject matter.
Book Review: Expensive mistake
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book hoping it was the publication of Immediate Family 2. Unfortunately I was wrong. If you saw the two books without knowing the autor, you would never guess, it was the very same. I have to say, that I am surpriced about the fact, that Sally Mann would make so different books. While Immediate Family has a lot of interesting, obscure pictures, there is nothing of this in At 12. The book is boring and disappointing, and the small number of pages does not explain the high price. Don't waste your time on this publication. You should rather be satisfied with just owning Immediate Family.Book Review: a big disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I would expect more from Sally Mann. This book was so lame I threw it in the trash. The photos were all in black and white and I was expecting more of he great nude photos but there were almost none. The book was overpriced and so very disappointing. Skip this and consider some of the works from Jock Sturges. Don't waste your time or money.
