Photographer Ron Sherman has been an essential fly on the wall in Atlanta for the last 50 years. He has photographed everyone from Hank Aaron to President Jimmy Carter to Coretta Scott King. His works have been featured in major publications such as “Time” and “Forbes” magazines.

Collections of Sherman’s prints are in the archives of Emory’s Rose Library, and an exhibition of Ron Sherman’s photos will open Monday and be on view through Sept. 21 at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center.
