Shane Lavalette: One Sun, One Shadow
Lavalette titled his series of photographs "One Sun, one Shadow". It deals with the musical tradition of the American South: "Having grown up in the Northeast, it was primarily through music - blues, gospel - that I had formed a relationship with the South. I was not interested in making a documentary, but rather to let myself be inspired by the music and to find poetic, "musical" images of the landscape of the American South."
As a photographer, a publisher and as the director of Light Work Institute in Syracuse, NY, Shane Lavalette (born 1987) is one of the most distinguished young voices in contemporary photography coming out of the US.
