Summary
All About Photo is pleased to announce the launch of a new online solo exhibition: Reverie of the Unseen by British photographer Rory J Lewis. This compelling collection of twenty photographs is now on view through June 2025.
Reverie of the Unseen is a collection of my works from the last 3 years, which seeks to elevate these oft overlooked animals by capturing the unseen ‘personality’ so many of these beautiful creatures appear to possess.
Through specific angles, lighting techniques or capturing certain behaviours, these tiny invertebrates can suddenly seem so much more relatable to us, as if waving good morning, playing games with one another, or tilting their head in silent communication- like perhaps, the pet puppy we once had.
All of the images are of live and completely unharmed subjects, taken in the wild, as being able to photograph them at their most vibrant is what provides so much of the magic, If there is an unnaturally colourful backdrop in the image, it is purely created by placing a physical object behind the subject. so shooting during the night or very early hours of the morning, as they’re sleeping or just waking up, is nearly always imperative.
This also helps in keeping their disturbance to an absolute minimum, ethics are also as important to me as the art itself, as I seek to do nothing more than celebrate these remarkable animals, and I invite others through this work, especially those that may find them fearful, to celebrate them with me.
The full exhibition of 50 images, ‘The Reverie of the Unseen’, is currently on display at the P61 Gallery, Berlin.
