Central Facility | Lorton Prison © photochangellc 2017 The Hill, as Central was affectionately called, was home to DC felons. Photography workshop participant Calvin talks about the Administrator, Salandra Whitfield: "He gave us programming, allowing us to stay connected with our families. It gave us a chance to come home and connect with our roots." #photographyworkshop #rehabilitation #everydayincarceration #80s #shortdoc #documentaryfilm #dcstoriesmatter #lortonva #lortonprison #dcdc #filmisnotdead #artmatters #shootfilm #35mm #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #acreativedc #artsprogramming #inlortonsdarkroom #prisonphotography

If you are in the DC Metro area on Saturday, August 19th, please come to a screening of a film that I edited called, "In Lorton's Darkroom" at the DC Black Film Festival - The Miracle Theater 535 8th Street, SE, Washington, DC. This documentary follows the journey of a group of incarcerated individuals at the notorious Lorton Prison, who used photography to transform their lives.

This is what the invitation looked like in January 1986 for an exhibition of incarcerated individuals photographs from within Lorton Maximum Security Prison in Fairfax, VA. "I was proud of my work," said David Mitchell El, a participant in the rehabilitative photography program. ©photochangellc, 2016 #blackandwhite #photography #exhibit #prisonphotography #prisonindustry #rehabilitation #inlortonsdarkroom #documentary #documentaryfilm #documentaryphotos #documentaryphotography #1986 #lorton #dc
