Deadline:

This Must Be The Place

Brisbane-based photographer, Dane Beesley, will release his third collection of photographs, SHADES on Friday June 10 at This Must Be The Place, Bakery Lane.

In SHADES, morning seems to originate in the stillness of a parked car. A leaning smoking woman in a striped shirt has less a shadow more a shadow self – it’s all in the texture of shades. Models clamber on a sand dune (or do they channel it?). A suitedup cowboy-man alights a shopping centre escalator while inky-dark ferns track him.

“You’re on your own with photography, on an obscure mission to capture something,” says Beesley. “I don’t often know what I’m looking for but I know when I see it.” Beesley’s range is on show in SHADES, and a David Lynchian eeriness pervades over the familiar.
