Delaney Allen's In Visibility consists of photographs are various cloud-like forms, with some clearly depicting clouds, and others depicting images of dust or mist or smoke. Most are shot portrait style, in various settings and at various times of the day.

The strength of this series definitely comes from the formal atmospheric qualities of these cloud like forms. You could say that he has done a very good job of capturing the visual nature of mist, smoke and dust, but there is enough variety between each individual photograph that it doesn't get stale. The title of this series plays with the word invisibility, which reminds me of magicians using smoke as a form of disrupting the audiences visibility momentarily, which certainly fits these photographs well.
