ATLANTA – Atlanta’s High Museum of Art invited three photographers to present their views of the American South, and the results will go on display starting this weekend.
The exhibition is part of the “Picturing the South” initiative established by the High in 1996. Since then the museum has commissioned a total of nine photographers to shoot photos inspired by the region.

The three photographers chosen for the latest installment of “Picturing the South” are British documentary photographer and photojournalist Martin Parr, Dallas-based documentary photographer and photojournalist Kael Alford, and Vermont native Shane Lavalette.
