From Knoxville, Tenn.: Dolly Parton was photographed wearing a special coat made by her mother. This photo shoot was for her book. The pictures were taken at her childhood home. Two photographers worked together on this project. One of them had previously worked with other artists and was introduced to Parton's team through a music manager. The other photographer has been assisting on shoots for years and is a fan of Parton's music.

Further details about the photo shoot are available. The book for which the photos were taken is curated by Parton's niece.

The photographers consider this project a unique opportunity.
