Newcastle presents a typology of 100 portraits of households in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, taken in 2020 during some of the strictest COVID-19 lockdowns in the world. The restrictions allowed photographer Luke David Kellett a unique opportunity to compile a visual representation of the architecture and inhabitants of the town and contribute to a collective memory of the period. Each photograph was made on a large-format camera with great care for uniformity of perspective and framing. Kellett's intent was to create a structure and consistency which highlighted both the differences and similarities between the architectural details of the town, while allowing the viewer to focus on the individuals without being distracted by a changing composition. Due to the conditions of lockdown, Kellett had to develop the large-format colour film by hand, and chose to embrace the resulting technical flaws and unexpected results to express the surreal circumstances of the time. Each household was interviewed about their circumstances, fears and hopes, and a summary of these is included in the book. Although specific to one town, it represents the experiences of many international communities during the pandemic.
