Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs

A memoir by the photographer Sally Mann that combines her own account of her youth and family with photographs, and asks how photography shapes a view of the world.

Published by Little, Brown in May 2015, the book joins memoir with an examination of some of the major influences on Mann's life. It grew out of a lecture she gave and runs to 482 pages with illustrations, some in colour. It was a finalist for the 2015 National Book Award and won the 2016 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. The race and slavery history of the American South that runs through it has become central to her later projects.

Mann (b. 1951) is an American photographer known for large-format black-and-white pictures of her children, her husband, the rural landscape around her and herself. Hold Still is her ninth book. The Getty record lists this hardcover as a first edition.
