Between Light and Shadows Series BLS001: Shadows in the Clouds
Archival pigment print on fine art paper
2016–2024
Shadows in the clouds is a quiet meditation on the fleeting dance between light and darkness, a reminder that every shift of shadow and burst of light holds something extraordinary.
"Each moment of darkness and light feels like a miracle."
Shadows in the Clouds explores the interplay of presence and absence, where light and shadow shape both the seen and the felt. This work reflects on impermanence, capturing the fleeting transitions that define our experiences of nature and emotion.
The scene was shaped by shifting light, transforming the coastal setting into something both tangible and surreal. The fleeting interplay of illumination and shadow became a quiet narrative, an exploration of the delicate balance between control and unpredictability.
Inspired by the depth of chiaroscuro, I used bold contrasts to blend traditional photography with a painterly quality. The process was guided by intuition, with unplanned moments of light adding layers of discovery and meaning.
Shadows in the Clouds is a meditation on impermanence and transformation, standing at the threshold between the visible and the unseen, where subtle shifts reveal profound change.

Thomas Gallane (b.1970, Sydney Australia) has spent over three decades behind the lens, and for two of those decades, he worked as a luxury destination photographer across Australia, Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia, New Zealand and New York for private clients. Over time, his photography has evolved into contemporary fine art, producing works that are deeply personal and reflective of his inner world.
In recent years, Gallane has focused on creating work that speaks to his own artistic vision, exploring the psychological and philosophical layers within his imagery. His last series, Between Light and Shadows, represents this evolution, a body of work that examines the space between photography, photorealism and the tactile, imperfect beauty of the wet collodion techniques. Gallane's images carry a distinct painterly feel, blurring the boundaries between photography and painting.
It's not just about documenting a scene or capturing a landscape, it's about delving into the emotional and atmospheric depths of the subject, revealing something more profound beneath the surface.
Gallane's creative process is deeply instinctual. He follows his gut, often breaking the traditional rules of photography to allow his work to unfold organically. It's in these moments when he pushes beyond the expected and steps over the edge that his true voice emerges. This instinct driven approach gives his work an authenticity and rawness, a reflection of both his inner world and the emotions he seeks to evoke in the viewer. That sense of going beyond, of trusting the uncharted, is what he instills in every photograph.
The creation of this series has been a journey of patience and endurance, taking eight years to come to life. Each image reflects a thoughtful, meditative process, both in photographing and in the careful stages of post production. Gallane's work is an exploration of light and shadow, but more profoundly, it is a way to connect with the deeper layers of experience and meaning. His photographs are expressions of his evolving voice as an artist, reflecting a desire to move beyond the obvious and engage with the subtle interplay of presence and absence.
