1993 / First Edition
Publisher: University Press of Mississippi
Appalachian Portraits is the first major monograph by Shelby Lee Adams, presenting approximately 50 black-and-white portraits of residents from the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Kentucky—a region where Adams grew up and continued to return for his photography. Rather than photographing landscapes, Adams focuses on the people and presents large family group shots, weathered faces, and simple domestic settings to reveal complex narratives about identity, community, and endurance in a culture often overlooked or misunderstood.
Condition: Softcover. Good condition.
