Flip through of Second Place by Jody Fausett





A beautiful hardbound book showcasing Jody Fausett’s dark and mysterious, personal photography. “Like advertisements for a place you might not want to visit, Jody Fausett’s photographs sizzle with inchoate menace. Fragility and a whiff of violence collide in a body of work centered on Fausett’s kin and the vacant-eyed critters who attest to the family’s favorite avocation of taxidermy” -Felicia Feaster, Creative Loafing 9.5x12 inches (landscape bound). 120 color pages. forward by Bret Busch. Q&A with the artist by David Merten of GHava{Press}



About the Author
Atlanta based photographer Jody Fausett works within the overlap of commercial fashion photography and his own fine art visions. “From sewing tree shaped pillows to overturning marble tables in fancy night clubs, from romantic comedies to schlocky slasher films, Jody Fausett is a renaissance man...sort of. His arts and skills are a little more unpredictable then the common definition attributed to such a person. Where as one fitting the “classical” definition might teach you a thing or two about fine wines and seamlessly segue into the history of italian opera, Jody might educate you on the genius of Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls after catching a possum with his bare hands. I have known Jody Fausett for almost a decade now and he is easily one the most interesting characters I have ever met. Unassuming at first glance, it is quickly apparent that there is something slightly askew to Jody in both appearance and personality. With a slightly messed up collar, ever changing facial hair… he is constantly pushing the limits of what is acceptable to the norm. This “other-ness” that is slightly above radar in real life becomes fully amplified in his photographs, yet never becomes deafening.” -David Merten, GHava{Press}
