As a documentary photographer he seeks to elevate the subjects above the individual photographer and to allow the subjects to speak through the images. This allows him to navigate the delicate balance between the photographer’s own creativity and remaining honest to the subjects he documents. He began his career covering the region in 2007. Adam holds a Masters of Fine Art degree in photography from Indiana University and undergraduate degrees in journalism and political science from Indiana University with a focus in photojournalism and Middle Eastern politics. He also holds a Masters degree in Islamic and Middle East Studies. Recent exhibitions of Adam’s work include Tokyo International Photography Festival, Pictura Gallery, and Columbus Museum of Art & Design. In 2014 he was the recipient of a Project Development Grant from CENTER Santa Fe.
