Anything Can Happen and Probably Will by Jesse Marlow
Following in the tradition of great street photography, Jesse Marlow treads the pavements of Melbourne creating a body of work truly his own. Astonishingly astute and beautifully timed, Marlow creates an operatic vision of the urban world - full of human folly, near mishaps, and unintended formal juxtapositions.
Naomi Cass,CCP Director.
“My images from the streets are never pre-conceived,” says Marlow. “I leave the house each morning with an open mind, a healthy dose of optimism, and my Leica Q. Elements of chance and the unknown are what excite me about the street photography.”
