About

Photo by Cocoa Laney

The great Stuart Hall argues that we re-create our identities throughout our lifetime by recognising what we are not. Indeed, intense beginnings to a brief bio but seeing as I am not one for classical bravados, I will cut the crap for a couple of contemplations closer to some kind of truth (my favourite problematic word).

I am not one who has considered writing about themselves in the third-person before, which is why I will give it a go. If anything it could make Adam sound a tad more impressive and attract the corporate work he needs from time to time. It might also atone for the pretentious trash he posted here previously. 

Adam’s intention is to connect with people by dissolving infuriating facades of formalities. Adam is not formal, but takes pride in his professionalism. Adam believes our vulnerability in darkness is as beautiful as our pride in the perfect light, but Adam is not subtle with metaphors. He is fascinated in human behaviour, but not interested in dissecting anyone’s personality with the limitations of a camera. Adam is not a trained biologist or psychoanalyst, although one of these may have been a better life choice. Adam feels photography chose him more than he chose it, yet he hopes you like his work with the type of conviction he wishes he had more of, most the time.

Adam hopes to see you again soon.
