Green was born in Texas and lived much of his childhood in Laurel, Mississippi. He graduated from Mississippi State University and began taking photographs while working at The Commercial Dispatch, a small, short-staffed newspaper during the worst years of business for print media. Since then, Green has freelanced for local newspapers around the South, and has clients like The New York Times, <\/em>Bloomberg, and Reuters, along with numerous regional publications. Self-taught through experimentation, Green\u2019s daily observations through his camera lens have given him a better understanding of and ties to the region he calls home.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Last year, Green had a photo chosen to be a part of the 39th edition of the American Photography Annual and the photo was part of an exhibit at the selection show in New York City in November 2023. He was also recently chosen to be the first photographer represented by a fine art gallery based in Mississippi. A selection of his work from across the American South is available through The Caron Gallery<\/a>. According to Gulf Coast Media, the American Photography Annual is a hardcover, juried annual that offers an expansive view with hundreds of images selected from thousands of entries. The contest is regarded by creative professionals as the \u201cbook of record” and the best \u201csource for today\u2019s top image-makers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
