Southern Photographs is a collection of works by William Christenberry (1936-2016), an American photographer, painter and sculptor. Christenberry has long been depicting and expressing the culture and identity of the American South through his creative activities in his hometown of Alabama. Christenberry captures buildings and landscapes, but the passage of time and memories of the place are carefully engraved in them, and the spirit of the land and culture is strongly present. In addition, he did not use a special camera, but mainly used Brownie, but his color depiction overlaps with Eggleston and others, and he is an artist who is highly regarded as a leader of "new color photography". He also served as a professor at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington DC for a long time, and is committed to guiding the next generation. This book is a color photo book published in the early 1980s. The appearance is similar to that of Eggleston and Meyerowitz, but the perspective is that of an artist rather than a photographer. This is a touching book that depicts the original landscape of post-war America, the southern suburbs that remain unchanged despite the economic growth of the cities.
