EXPLORE THIS PROJECT A Southern state of mind In 2010, 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. Having grown up listening to traditional Southern music, he decided the region's vibrant musical past would be the ideal lens through which to explore its current cultural landscape. The resulting series of photographs is as spirited and poignant as the sounds that inspired it.
