CONTRIBUTORS BARRY KAUFMAN CEDRIC SMITH In 1996 Cedric Smith became a painter in Atlanta and shortly thereafter his love for vintage photographs was incorporated into almost all of his works. After showcasing his paintings in different major cities including New York, Texas, Chicago, and Paris, it was only after he moved to Savannah that he just “picked up the camera” and started shooting; this was an easy transition, given his love for fashion and image. He enjoys shooting fashion because the artistry of fashion is so fascinating to him, “When you shoot fashion, you can play with color, and you can shoot from an artist’s point of view.” See Cedric’s work on the cover and in Never Forget page 130. cedricsmithphotography.com Barry Kaufman is the managing editor of travel website TravelPulse.com and a long-time resident of Bluffton, S.C. where he lives with his wife and three children. When he’s not traveling or tweeting about traveling, you can find him in the kitchen whipping up pizzas for his Instagram feed. Find him on Twitter @BKTravelPulse. The Downtown Delilahs on page 76. KRISTE SANDERS With her roots deeply planted in Georgia ground, Kriste Sanders is a writer and editor who happens to teach elementary students, too. A 1987 graduate of the University of Georgia, she has lived in Savannah for over 20 years and enjoys spending time on the family’s boat, exploring local waters and holding fellowship with friends on sandbars. Her writing reflects her passion for what she holds dear: family, friends, and all things Southern. See Kriste’s work in Dawg Nation on page 56. 22 S OUT H MAGA ZI NE.C OM ANGELA HOPPER LEE Angela Hopper Lee received her Bachelors degree in photography from SCAD in 2001 and has been capturing the people and places of Savannah ever since. She shoots everything from weddings and events to family and pet portraits. She has a passion for animals, which comes across beautifully in the South’s Greatest Pets portraits on page 48. CHUCK COLEMAN Chuck Coleman is a designer and photographer who visually separates himself by focusing on photographing his own steampunk apparel and models. His images reveal less flesh, exposing the emotional values of a woman’s beauty that are not just skin-deep. In an industry where beauty is seen as conditional, Coleman creates unique experiences where women of all generations can come together feeling beautiful and empowered. See Chuck’s work in Downtown Delilahs (pg 76) & Billy the G.O.A.T. (pg 150).
