EDITORS COMMENTS
Andrew Besley, a young and promising photographer of the 1950s, captures an intimate moment of his own routine in this self-portrait taken in 1956. The image finds him lying in bed, yawning and stretching, as the early morning sun filters through the room, casting a warm glow on the striped pyjamas that he wears. The clock on the bedside table indicates that the alarm has just gone off, signaling the start of another day in the life of this dedicated professional. Besley's expression is one of weariness and relaxation, as if he has just woken up from a deep sleep. His pose, with one arm resting on his stomach and the other reaching towards the clock, adds to the casual and unguarded feel of the photograph. The bedsheets rumpled and the pillows slightly flattened, the scene is one of comfortable familiarity, inviting the viewer to share in the quiet intimacy of the moment. This self-portrait is a rare glimpse into the personal life of a photographer who was known for his striking and innovative images of the West Country landscape. It serves as a reminder that even those who capture the world through a lens have their own stories to tell and moments to cherish.
