Weekly MCC News #08 – 19-March-2023

Jesse Marlow is a Melbourne-based and internationally recognised photographer. Over the last 25 years he has worked for a range of local and international editorial and commercial clients. His works are held in public and private collections across Australia and the world, including the National Gallery of Victoria and the Australian Parliament House Collection. 

In 2014, Marlow published his third monograph – ‘Don’t Just Tell Them, Show Them’. In 2021, Marlow published his fourth monograph ‘Second City’. With a highly developed eye for colour, pattern and subtle humour, Jesse is constantly searching for an ambiguity that lies just below the surface. Each image in his books is a perfect compositional gem full of delight. These images showcase Marlow’s ability to find wonder amidst the banality of everyday life.

His current reprinted book, ‘Don’t Just Tell Them, Show Them’ will be available for sale on the night at a discounted price for club members.

Jesse will talk about his street photography and aspects of his career.
