Last year, Shane Lavalette was commissioned by the High Museum of Art in Atlanta to create a new body of photographs for their “Picturing the South” series, which will also include contributions from notable names like Martin Parr. Having growing up listening to traditional Southern music like old time, blues, and gospel, Lavalette decide that the region’s vibrant musical past would be the ideal filter through which to explore its contemporary cultural landscape. The result? A series of photographs that are equally as vibrant and individually striking as the sounds that inspired them. The project may be technically complete now, but Lavalette is nowhere near finished. He’ll collect his images into a self-published book — and it’s our Project of the Day.
