VIRGINIANSPhotos by Hannah Modigh
Swedish photographer Hannah Modigh recently spent two months living in a motel in St. Charles, Virginia. She fell in with a group of kids there, started shooting them, and ended up making one of the best-looking documentary series we’ve seen in years. But why are the photos so pretty, even though she was in one of the poorest regions of America? “Lots of photographers decide to portray things as harsh and ugly,” Hannah tells us. “I don’t want to do that. I’d rather go to a place that might be rough and try to find beauty.”
A good and noble cause, this Hannah has. And she pulled it off.
