Don't Just Tell Them Show Them - Jesse Marlow

Sling Shot Press is delighted to announce the release of the second and revised edition of Jesse Marlow’s sold out 2014 book Don’t Just Tell Them, Show Them. The photos were taken across Australia and a number of other countries between 2004–2012.

With a highly developed eye for colour, pattern and subtle humour, Jesse Marlow is constantly searching for an ambiguity that lies just below the surface. Each image in the book is a perfect compositional gem full of delight. These images showcase Marlow’s ability to find wonder amidst the banality of everyday life.
