Dan’s Photography, is best known for its Black & White noirish visions of contemporary urban life. His current project, Unseen, takes much of its inspiration from the cinematic language of Film Noir and Filmmaker Alan J. Pakula’s, thriller trilogy: Klute, The Parallax View and All the President’s Men. Other influences include the renowned realest painter, Edward Hopper, whose paintings have been variously described as representations of loneliness, alienation melancholy, or solitude
He explains his project ‘Unseen’:
As a child, I was terrified of the dark. So fearful was I of what could be hiding under the bed, or lurking within the dark recesses of my closet, that I regularly slept with the light on. The irony is not lost on me that I now find myself inexplicably drawn to the back streets and dark alleyways of anonymous cities to the point of obsession. This curiosity is rooted in a need to dig at the surface to discover what lies just beneath it, unseen. Inspired by the visual language of Film Noir, this body of work explores isolated fragments of subjects once there but now gone, as a mean of shining a light on what is hidden, if only for an instant.
