MALCOLM LIGHTNER is a fourth generation native Floridian and his work is rooted in the distinctly American tradition of Southern Photography. By combining the traits of an articulate narrative storyteller, probing cultural anthropologist, and contemporary visual artist, Malcolm chooses depth over distance, imbuing both his pictures and his subjects with a profound sense of dignity.

His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions including: Art + Commerce Emerging Photographers and Joint Venture: Selections from the Dr. Barry S. Ramer Collection & Other Photographs. Several of his works are included in the permanent photography collections at the Southeast Museum of Photography in Daytona Beach, Florida. His work has also appeared in publications including Life Magazine, Florida Trends Magazine, Guernica, Photo District News and Visual Arts Journal.

Malcolm currently resides in New York and is a member of the photography faculty at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Celebrating Photography of the Rural South

You are invited to submit work for the Tenth Anniversary SlowExposures Photography Exhibition in Pike County, Georgia. As always, selected images capture the diversity, contradictions and complexity of the rural American South. We are pleased to welcome Brett Abbott, Photography Curator of the High Museum of Art and Julian Cox, Founding Curator of Photography of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco as our 2012 jurors.

SlowExposures is held during the last two weekends in September. Located in the rural countryside one hour from Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson airport, the show is renowned for its intimate, relaxed environment where photographers and photography lovers gather to learn, share, and have fun. This year in honor of our tenth anniversary, we are pleased to welcome back many of our past jurors who have graciously agreed to lead seminars and staff our portfolio review. –Christine Curry and Nancy McCrary, Show Chairs
