Hey all, this is my first post of many here. Anyways, I am a professional photographer based in Nashville and I started a portrait project last year documenting all the different types of folks who hike the AT and I am going to be gearing up to continue and hopefully finish it this year. Due to certain regulations, I can't shoot on the actual AT so I have been hanging out in trail towns, road crossings, etc. etc. getting to know folks and put them in front of my camera. Now, I shoot with a 4x5 camera and set up a white background and put folks in front of it so as to cut away all the distracting elements around and just focus on the individual. This promises to be a great project and the results I have received so far are better than expected and I hope I can drum up some interest and awareness on here and get some folks in front of the camera.
Please, take a look at my work at www.hollisbennett.com and see the type of work that I make and hope to see you out there.
