Adam documents authentic interactions and feelings as they happen, reflecting his genuine interest in others. He's been passionate about photography since day dot: from shooting family holidays, to tracing his grandparents’ migration route across India, to scouring New York for absurdities, he's developed film negatives with river water, built pin-hole cameras out of apples, and taught community groups and university students the thrills of image-making. With an eye for bold compositions, his images are vibrant and alive. His technical expertise, friendly manner and intuition to 'read a room’, means memorable images are only ever a blink away.
