''Immediate Family'' is a 1992 photography book by Sally Mann. The book is published by Aperture and contains 65 duotone images. The book predominately features Mann's three children, Emmett, Jessie and Virginia, who also appear on the front cover. 13 of the pictures show nudity and three show minor injuries; Emmett with a nosebleed, Jessie with a cut and stitches, and Jessie with a swollen eye. Several images from the book were re-published in Mann's next book, '' Still Time''. Production The images within the book were taken between 1984 and 1991 in rural Virginia, where the children, and Mann herself, spent their childhoods.
