"Shadows remember what light forgets."
Ground Floor captures the quiet weight of an unnoticed entryway in an old apartment building. Marked only by the soft script of Planta Baja, the scene speaks of stillness and time. The walls, aged and worn, are etched with scratches and imperfections, while faint light filters through, casting subtle reflections across the floor. Shadows linger in every corner, undisturbed and heavy with presence.
This photograph was created through a deliberate process that embraced imperfection. Natural light was allowed to shape the space, folding darkness naturally into the frame. The surface textures, scratches, soft gradients and marks mirror the decay of forgotten places, evoking the tactile feel of weathered stone and faded paint.
Ground Floor explores the unnoticed spaces we pass through, where presence and absence quietly coexist. The image becomes a reflection on the memory of spaces once filled with movement, now still and watching. Every mark within the frame feels intentional, holding the weight of time and memory between the layers of shadow and light.

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.
