Modern Photography
James Anderson
A photograph should feel like a place you have visited in a dream - familiar and strange in equal measure.
James Anderson makes photographs that feel like memory - slightly over-exposed, gently blurred at the edges, suffused with a golden hour warmth that seems to emanate from within the image itself. Based in Melbourne, he shoots exclusively on medium-format film, a deliberate anachronism in the digital age. His subjects range from the Australian outback to the back streets of Tokyo, but the real subject is always time: its passage, its weight, the way it pools in certain corners of the world. His monograph "Still Burning" was published by Steidl in 2024 and named one of the year's best photobooks by Aperture.
