摄影师塔玛拉·雷诺兹于1960年出生在田纳西州的纳什维尔，至今仍居住在那里。她作为美国南部居民的一生经历是她的“南方路线”系列诞生的催化剂。在探索身份、冲突和变化的主题时，她面对着她对南方根源同时感到的骄傲和羞耻。
“这个国家对南方的刻板印象是乡巴佬、宗教狂热分子和种族主义者。虽然有证据证明这一点，但我也了解到南方人天生就有一种克制的尊严和一种慷慨的感情。我们是一个奇特的地方，文化丰富，在逆境中坚强…在事物的表面下，还有更多的东西有待揭示。在质疑我对南方的欣赏时，我发现了它的内在之美。”

Her lifelong experience as a resident of the Southern United States was the catalyst from which her “Southern Route” series was born. Exploring themes of identity, conflict, and change, she confronts the simultaneous pride and shame she feels about her Southern roots. “The country has stereotyped the South as hillbilly, religious fanatic, and racist. Although there is evidence of it, I have also learned that there is a restrained dignity and a generous affection that Southerners possess intrinsically. We are a singular place, rich in culture, strong through adversity. . .There is more to be revealed under the surface of things. While questioning my appreciation of the South, I found the beauty that is within. And through compassion, I have come to accept.”See more from “Southern Route” belowTamara Reynolds’ WebsiteTamara Reynolds on Instagram <
