New York City nightlife served as a profound wellspring of inspiration for Nicholas James Needham upon their relocation to the city in 2015. 'Nighthawks' is a compelling project that captures the essence of key nightlife personas within their natural environments: whether it be outside bustling clubs, traversing city streets to their awaiting vehicles, or disembarking from the vibrant subway scene. This project not only immortalizes these figures but also underscores the profound cultural significance of nightlife within the fabric of New York City's identity.
