Mary Ellen mark was born in 1940. She started out working for Look and Life magazines, and has since worked for such names as NYT Magazine, Vogue, and Esquire. She photographs people living on the "edge of society", some of her subjects include Christian bikers, retirees, and the latin community. Her portraits of young girls don't show innocence as child portraits normally do, but in contrast, a lack of innocence. Children getting into activities they normally wouldn't for another 10 years, like smoking and dressing risque.
