SuperRare Sessions: Photographing Appalachian Christian Snake Handlers


Listen Later

Episode six of SuperRare Sessions with Benjamin White, Oli Scialdone and Luke Whyte. This week Luke leads an interview with renowned artist and documentary photographer Robert LeBlanc.


Robert spent five years photographing the sermons, culture, and people of, “The House of The Lord Jesus”, a church in the quiet town of Squire, West Virginia with a population of less than 300 people. During services, the pastors will handle live rattlesnakes and drink “deadly things”, like the neurotoxin strychnine. Robert’s work, titled GLORYLAND, has resulted in a series of photos minted on SuperRare, a beautiful artbook, and an exhibition with the Fahey/Klein Gallery in Los Angeles.
