The Kentucky Documentary Photographic Project
This work has been produced as part of the Kentucky Documentary Photographic Project.
The Kentucky Documentary Photographic Project is the state’s third photographic recording done in 40 year increments.
Taking inspiration from the work of the Farm Security Administration (1935–1943) and building on the success of Kentucky Documentary Photographic Project (1975–1977), The Kentucky Documentary Photographic Project II will go into each of the state’s 120 counties making a contemporary visual record of Kentucky. This will be the third time in an eighty year period that photographers have roamed the state recording the landscape and how Kentuckians live, work and play.
The following images were made in Harlan County, McCreary County, Whitley County, and Bell County.
