Tattooed & Boozy
A photographic book exploring craft, identity, and ritual.
Tattooed & Boozy is a photographic project featuring local bartenders, their tattoos, and the cocktail recipes they return to most often.
The work examines the overlap between personal expression and practiced craft—where ink, technique, and ritual intersect behind the bar. Each participant contributes both their image and a recipe, creating a layered portrait of identity, process, and place.
This project is designed as a book to be lived with—equal parts visual study and working reference.
A short film introducing the inspiration behind Tattooed & Boozy is available on Yevette Lynn Art on YouTube.
Those interested in participating in the project or reserving a copy of the book are invited to inquire below.

Trail Records — It Was Love
A photographic book documenting regional music history through vinyl.
Trail Records — It Was Love is a photographic project centered on vinyl records and the musical heritage of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.
The work follows Lonnie Salyer, known as Big Lon, as he uncovers local and regional music history one record at a time. Through his growing collection of 45 rpm and 78 rpm vinyl, the project traces the stories embedded in physical media—records shaped by place, industry, and community.
This book serves as both visual archive and cultural record, preserving music that might otherwise remain forgotten or overlooked.
Trail Records — It Was Love is the first volume in an ongoing series documenting local and regional record labels through photography and research. The book is currently in development.

Appalachian Backroads®
A fine art photography series grounded in place and passage.
Appalachian Backroads® is a fine art photography series focused on rural roads, transitional landscapes, and the spaces that exist between destinations.
The work is not concerned with arrival.
It is concerned with attention.Through measured composition, restrained light, and texture, the series documents Appalachia beyond stereotype—observing its endurance, quiet order, and lived character. These photographs are made slowly, allowing stillness and presence to shape each frame.
Each image exists as a moment of pause, where memory, landscape, and time intersect without interruption.
