Boys of Summer, Brookside, AL, 2023 © Leigh Ann Edmonds
Capturing a classic rite of passage, this silver-gelatin photograph freezes a exhilarating moment of summer freedom as a swimmer leaps mid-air from a rope swing into a shaded swimming hole. Framed by dense, sunlit foliage and serene waters where onlookers wait, the image perfectly evokes the nostalgia of hot afternoons and carefree escape in the American South. Leigh Ann Edmonds’ traditional darkroom craftsmanship beautifully balances deep, velvety shadows in the forest canopy with gleaming highlights on the water's surface.
