SUMMARY:The Americans by Aaron Patton
DESCRIPTION:A national photography project focused on documenting the people and stories that make up the country is making a stop in Natchitoches on April 7\, with a strong push for community members to take part. \n“The Americans\,” created by photographer Aaron Patton\, is a growing archive of portraits capturing individuals across all 50 states. The project focuses on stripped-down\, black-and-white images that remove distractions and center entirely on the individual. \nPatton\, an editorial and commercial portrait photographer based in Wichita\, Kansas\, said the project is rooted in curiosity and a desire to better understand the people and places across the country. \n“I do this work because I’m constantly curious and this job lets me indulge that curiosity in ways I never imagined\,” Patton said. “Being in Kansas means I can go just about anywhere in the country at the drop of a hat.” \nThe local session will be held from 4-7 p.m. at StoryBrew Coffee Cafe\, located at 780 Front St. in Natchitoches. Participation is open to anyone\, and Patton said the project relies on a wide range of individuals to fully capture the American experience. Participants can expect getting their portrait taken to last just a few minutes. \nThe Americans Project seeks people from all walks of life\, including students\, professionals\, retirees and workers in every field. Patton said every participant contributes to building a broader picture of the country. He’s looking for a mix of blue collar\, white collar\, no collar\, local characters\, and the people that make a place unique.
