Luke Needham (b. 2002) is a London-based visual artist and designer originally from the Isle of Man, working across visual research, publishing, and experimental image-making.
His work is described as deeply personal and reflective, often blending archival material, abstraction, and immersive design to explore the intersections of trauma, memory, and the body. Luke’s practice spans photography, moving image, and print, with a particular interest in tactile, narrative-driven design.
In 2025, he founded Corpus Press, a small-run publishing imprint supporting emerging voices in artist books and zines. Luke was also selected to design the UAL Graduate Show catalogue, which received strong praise for its clarity and aesthetic direction.
