A wide-ranging portrait of New Orleans told through intimate interviews and photographs with the luminaries who have shaped the city's culture, from James Carville and Emeril to Jon Batiste and John Berendt.

Documentary photographer Thom Gilbert — known for his all-access, portraiture-driven approach — turns his lens on New Orleans in full: its music, architecture, food, historic locations, and the people who have made it a world-class cultural environment. The result is equal parts fine art photography book and oral history, offering rare access to figures whose work has amplified New Orleans' identity on a national and international stage.
