John Lusk Hathaway was born in Memphis and received his MFA from East Tennessee State in 2012. He's currently photographing South Carolina and in the mountains of Tennessee for the American Guide Project.
These photos are taken from his One Foot in Eden series. For this series he talks about his interest in the way the inhabitants of these rural areas interact with their environment and the lives they are carving out for themselves. His goal is for this work to become a "springboard" for further thought on how we recruit nature to comfort us and how that affects us as people. He creates complex environments in the way he utilizes framing, lighting, and space in which the landscapes and characters vie for attention. To me, it's about humankind on a larger scale seeking a meaningful connection to the land.
