Shane Lavalette

Shane Lavalette was commissioned by the High Museum in Atlanta to create a series of photographs for the exhibition *Picturing the South* which would become his monograph, *One Sun, One Shadow*. It was primarily through traditional music—the sounds of old time, blues, and gospel—that Lavalette had formed a relationship with the region. This history became a natural entry point to explore the connection between music and the landscape of the American South through images.
