DESCRIPTION
Archival Pigment Print | 2018
This latest series began with an exercise to create more space in his photographs than Needham typically feels comfortable with. An art teacher of Needham’s once quoted Robert Capa, “If your photographs aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” This lesson stuck with him at first, but then he came to disagree with it and had to set about unlearning.
Previously hinting at a world outside the frame, Needham began adding negative space, eliminating distraction and rendering the important elements more impressive. Traveling to new locations in New Mexico and California, and more familiar ones in New York and Spain, Needham compelled himself to stand back from a world we are increasingly being told to lean in to.

“Once I find a location I like, I’ll post up and photograph it for a while, making sure to capture different examples of composition, traffic and shadow movement. Then when I’m reviewing the images I see which elements work best, eliminating and combining to create what is to me the most visually satisfying image.”
Needham is an Australian photographer, who currently lives and works in New York City. After graduating from the Photography Studies College in Melbourne in 2005, he spent several years working in London and Paris before heading to the United States in 2011. Needham first began working in fashion photography, but was mesmerized by America’s urban landscapes, which he began to document.

“There’s a limited amount of space within a viewfinder or on a canvas and what someone chooses to fill it with says so much about them and what they were feeling at the time. It’s like a Rorschach test we create ourselves.”
