On Location with Lauren Stonestreet / #JQDSalt

Heralding from the mountains of Appalachia, Lauren Stonestreet is a photographer and creative director who recently relocated to the beautiful and quaint Charlottesville, Virginia, known by many through Elle Effect Photography.

This film piece is a behind the scenes look at her work with J.Q. Dickinson Salt-Works (in collaboration with Mesh | Design & Development) telling their story through stills, capturing the essence and history of this 7th generation salt-making family who have continued their families tradition of hand-harvesting an all-national salt from an ancient ocean under the Appalachian mountains, residing in the Kanawha Valley in Malden, West Virginia.

Stephen Stonestreet, our founder, followed Lauren around during the two day shoot with #JQDSalt, capturing the process of her photo shoot. We are also happy to have her as a creator/contributor here at Stonestreet Creative.

See BTS photos below and be sure to watch the short documentary film piece above.

After writing songs together and overall idea collaborating the past few weeks, my friend Lauren and I decided a photoshoot of sorts would be fun on this snowy afternoon. 

I’m so happy with the way these turned out and am always inspired and encouraged when working with Lauren.
