"Beasy," St. Gabriel, Louisiana 21 - 2000

"Beasy," St. Gabriel, Louisiana (2000) is a photograph by Deborah Luster, a series from her larger project "A Southern Family." The image captures a woman in a plaid skirt and white shirt, standing against a dark background. The sepia tones of the print and the vignette framing suggest a vintage, almost nostalgic quality. Luster's work often examines Southern identity and social constructs through intimate portraits, capturing the nuances of daily life and the complex histories of individuals and families.
