The grand photography cool that is Michael Danischewski will be displaying a whole bunch of work up in Sydney this Wednesday night, as he launches his solo exhibition “Photographic Works”. We don’t often follow photography here on Invurt, but there are a few cases where we do – especially when its a photographer who captures so much around street culture, graffiti and art, in such an awesome way, as Mike does!

“From delivering DIY zines in pizza boxes to taking the portraits of some of the world’s most mysterious luminaries, Michael Danischewski’s work spans across all media. Be it digital, video, print magazine and film, few photographers capture the spirit of a subterranean moment quite as well as the Melbourne based artist, who began shooting at punk gigs. Now working with clients as diverse as Lee Jeans and The Operatives, graffiti artists and musicians and collaborating with multidisciplinary crew Studio615, Michael’s underground aesthetic, curious eye and dexterous expertise has lead him to become one of Australia’s most coveted photographers.

Regularly armed with a Contax T3, a free spirit and a pocket full of film, Danischewski explores the underbelly of the cities he visits, capturing not only their subcultural movements, but also those individuals who are breaking new ground.”

If you’re around Sydney this week, you should head down to The Tate and check it all out – we last saw Mikes work in the 615 Group show, and it was, quite frankly, excellent.
