Photographer Spotlight: Dane Manary

Dane Manary is a photographer, editor, and bookmaker based in New York City. With an eye for composition, he pares down the hustle of city life with his camera, finding kismet connections between the people, landscapes, and objects surrounding him. “Parallels, patterns, and sequences stitch these unspoken poems together in order to convey how empathy, compassion, and magic can be observable in everyday life if we take the time to notice,” he explains. He has published two photobooks, “Liar’s Paradox” (2018), and “Telepathy” (2019). His most recent ongoing project explores Apophenia—the human tendency to recognize patterns and meaning in random information.
