American Prison Tattoos by Photographer Robert Gumpert

"Tattoos may be becoming the norm but before their surge in popularity, tattoos were the province of society’s outcasts: sailors, artists, carnies and outlaws – acting as road maps of their lives: who they were, what they had done, their loves, desires, their sorrows and pains.” ~ Robert Gumpert

Photographer Shelby Lee Adams' Appalachia


Adams has photographed Appalachian families since the mid-1970s. He had first encountered the poor families of the Appalachian mountains as a child, travelling around the area with his uncle, who was a doctor. His work has been published in three monographs: Appalachian Portraits (1993), Appalachian Legacy (1998), and Appalachian Lives (2003).

Adams was the subject of a documentary film by Jennifer Baichwal in 2002 - The True Meaning of Pictures: Shelby Lee Adams's Appalachia. This was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival, and at the Sundance Festival in 2003. The film critiques and defends Adams' method in photographing holler dwellers for his previously published books.















Advocate & push yourself measuring & expanding you’re inner acceptance of all humanity, this defines you and more importantly helps some unrecognized peoples to have a better place in this world. By simply being present, acknowledging equally & sharing with, we create and define better living for each other. ~ Shelby Lee Adams
