'In Light of Everything' immortalizes in book form Debbie Fleming Caffery’s first major career retrospective presented at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Examining the deep emotional relationship between people and place, Caffery is recognized as a leading photographer visualizing the American South. Her shadowy, blurred images thoughtfully feature elements of luster to reveal elements of the shared human experience—childhood, spirituality, labor—and ultimately bring darkness to light. This publication is her most comprehensive to date, showcasing projects produced within and beyond the American South to Mexico, France, and the American West. Caffery’s sixth title, In Light of Everything is the first to feature all series over the course of her career.
"When I photograph, I respond instinctively in the moment to what inspires me. Through the years, I have become more attuned to emotional moments, wrinkles in a face, the nuances of my environment...All of the visual elements resonate more deeply with me emotionally, so do the people I have worked with, including those who are no longer with us."
