Photographer

The Resume

    (May 1, 1951- )
    Born in Lexington, Virginia
    Published collections of her photos include 'At Twelve: Portraits of Young Women' (1991), 'Immediate Family' (1993), 'Still Time' (1996), 'What Remains' (2003) and 'Deep South' (2005)
    Subject of the documentary 'What Remains' (2006)

Why she might be annoying:

    'Immediate Family' featured several nude photos of her three children, which some conservative critics denounced as child pornography.
    Her daughter Jamie said, 'I'm like this needy modeling junkie.' (Wonder how that started.)
    Although she has no problem showing intimate photos of her children, a collection of photos of her and her husband, titled 'Marital Trust,' has never been exhibited. She has said the photos might not be shown until after her death.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
    Time magazine named her photographer of the year (2001).
    She said, 'If my children didn't have better things to do, I'm sure they'd love to rebut all the bullshit that comes pouring out of academia about my work.'
