South of Market presents a photographic exploration of an urban neighborhood through detailed, documentary images that focus on everyday life and architecture. The work captures the physical and social contours of the area, emphasizing the relationship between residents and their environment in a direct and unembellished manner.

Janet Delaney’s approach uses a steady visual gaze to reveal the nuances of place and community, balancing portraits and streetscapes with intimate interior spaces. The 128-page volume, published in 2013, offers a quiet observation of transformation and continuity within the urban fabric of the neighborhood.
