Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs

The electrifying memoir of acclaimed photographer Sally Mann An instant classic (New York Times)

In this extraordinary memoir, the acclaimed American photographer Sally Mann blends narrative and image to explore the forces that shaped her work. Delving back into her familys past and the storied landscapes of the South, Hold Still is about how we are made by people and place, and how we make our experiences into art. This is a totally original form of personal history that has the page-turning drama of a great novel but is firmly rooted in the fertile soil of Manns remarkable life.

A wild ride of a memoir. Visceral and visionary. Fiercely beautiful. My kind of true adventure Patti Smith

This book is riveting, ravishing diving deep into family history to find the origins of art. I couldnt take my eyes off it Ann Patchett
