provided the children with unique freedoms and it also provided Mann a beautiful backdrop while documenting their growth and lifestyle. Viewers do not understand the unique primitive lifestyle captured in the images (Foerstner 1993). Many of the photographs are described as provocative because of the nudity. The images that Mann created are haunting and graphic. “Immediate Family” is Mann’s third book. Unlike the other two books, this one sold out in three months, making her a commercial…
