A little while ago Stockholm-based photographer Hannah Modigh spent two months in St. Charles - one of the poorest towns in Virginia, USA. While there, Modigh spent her time intensely researching and photographing the locals and surrounding area - the resulting series, "Hillbilly Heroin Honey", is unexpectedly appealing and highlights the beauty that she found in the supposedly harsh and dangerous town. "I try not to think too much when I photograph. Afterwards, in the selection of pictures, I pick what I want to say. It is my interpretation of, and feelings for, the people I have met and places I have been."
