In “Down and Out in the South,” Banning has photographed 42 homeless men and women in Atlanta, Ga.;
Columbia, S.C.; and in the Mississippi Delta. While not the first to photograph modern society’s outcasts,
his approach is new. Eschewing caricaturizing depictions, Banning places his subjects in a studio setting
without their stereotypical belongings, focusing instead on their individuality — on who they are rather
than what they are.
The book features an Introduction by James Swift and an Artist’s Statement.
The electronic (digital) book also features 11 interview fragments (sound) + 3 fragments from video documentary.
James Swift (b. 1986), who wrote the introductory essay, is a writer living in the metropolitan Atlanta
area. His portfolio includes features on rural poverty, the U.S. education system, autism spectrum disorder
research, and gay and lesbian rights, among scores of other cultural issues and events. Swift is the author
of two books: “How I Survived Three Years at a Two-Year Community College: A Junior Memoir of Epic
Proportions” and “Mascara Contra Mascara: A Tale of Two Masks”.
