During the 2016 US Presidential elections Japanese photographer, Fumi Nagasaka, became intrigued by the rural and southern USA. She had lived in New York City for a decade but despite travelling the world, she had yet to visit the rest of the US. All this changed when her friend, Tanya Rouse, invited her to her hometown of Dora, Alabama. Nagasaka continued to visit Dora over several years, gradually building a photographic archive of her visits.

A selection of these photographs are included in her first monograph Dora, Yerkwood, Walker County, Alabama. Located northwest of city of Birmingham, Dora is a town of about 2,300 people. Church, college football, and Jack's --the regional fast food chain-- are popular with the town's residents and Nagasaka was introduced to each on her visits.

Although an outsider, Nagasaka gradually built trust and began to photograph the town's residents. After documenting Dora High School's homecoming football game Nagasaka's connections grew exponentially. She found herself immersed in the lives of several Walker County residents and had the opportunity to tell their stories.

Born in Nagoya, Japan, Fumi Nagaska moved to New York in 2002 to explore North American culture. Her work has been exhibited widely, including in the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2021, London, an open submission winner at Belfast Photo Festival in 2019 and the Photo Chronicles Portrait Photography Award in 2019. Her work has been published in s including It's Nice That, AnOther and Dazed Digital.
