Finding Mississippi

“Betty’s photographs have an authenticity and a sensitivity that allows her to capture place, in this case Mississippi, in a very pure way. She’s a natural storyteller and her work explores the people, places, and small moments that make up the small towns and communities of the South.” Aline Smithson, Lenscratch. Betty Press is a fine art photographer. She is well known for her photographs taken Africa where she lived and traveled for many years. This work placed in Photolucida Critical Mass Top 50. Now living in Hattiesburg, Mississippi she has a new award-winning project called “Mississippi: The Place I Live” using vintage and toy cameras about living in Mississippi.
