Robert Adam who was born in may 1937 in City Of Orange, New Jersey, United States and is currently 86 years old, was a talented photographer who discovered his love for photography at the age of 25 when he was an English teacher.
After he spent some time in Scandinavia with his Swedish wife, whose name was Kerstin, he realised the complexities of the American geography that merited exploration.
Adams reshaped the visual expression of landscape photography and injected purpose and innovation into his work. He brought that sense of harsh reality of landscapes and heightened the sense of purpose in the world of photography.
Robert did not care for the aesthetic side of landscapes, rather he directly engaged with the world highlighting the dynamic and profound significance. Instead of him romancing landscapes, he borough that context of reality to life, he showed the world what was real and what wasn’t.
He is widely known for inhibiting the landscapes of the America west after 1960, where he followed the footsteps of photographers like Timothy H. O’Sullivanand William Henry Jackson. However what distinguishes Adams from such photographers is his consistency in black and white photography and square formats in his arts work.
Throughout his 50-year professional career, he produced over 20 books that presented his work. Looking through these books will enable people to track the evolution of his approach to the art of photography.
