Publisher's Synopsis
A self-taught photographer, Jack Davison makes pictures like a painter paints, using intuition and instinct to craft photographs that excavate the surreal and sensual from the fabric of daily life. Relying heavily on chiaroscuro and the power of photography to obscure as well as reveal, Davison's unique, crafted approach to image-making oscillates from crisp, sharp details into dissolving mirages, the world inverted and submerged. With their deep shadows and tight framing, the images in 'Photographs' have an unmistakeably cinematic quality; each layered image leaves a breadcrumb trail of associations that extend far beyond it's initial context.
