George Georgetown, Transylvania, Louisiana 3 - 2000

"George Georgetown, Transylvania, Louisiana" is a photograph by Deborah Luster, taken in 2000. This image is part of Luster’s photographic series "A History of the Future," which documented the lives of people living in rural Louisiana. The portrait captures George Georgetown, a man from Transylvania, Louisiana, in a candid pose, seated with his torso exposed and a pensive expression. The sepia tone and the image’s composition evoke the style of early portraiture, creating a sense of intimacy and depth. Luster’s work often explores themes of identity, race, and social class, particularly in the American South.
