Boy with jawbone, Walnut, North Carolina. Photograph by Rob Amberg.
Documentary photographer Rob Amberg will begin his residency as a 2012–2013 Duke University Visiting Artist with a presentation on his decades of living and working in Madison County, North Carolina, where he has chronicled the lives and stories of people in isolated mountain areas such as Sodom Laurel. His portraits of a changing culture reveal from the inside the lives of people who are wrestling with the economic and social forces that are reshaping Appalachian North Carolina. Amberg’s first book, Sodom Laurel Album, was published in 2002 by the University of North Carolina Press and the Center for Documentary Studies.
