The Photography of Bobby Neel Adams

Bobby Neel Adams was born in Black Mountain, North Carolina and now resides in New York. After graduating from Goddard College in Vermont he moved to San Francisco where he resided and worked for the next eighteen years.
Much of Adams’ photographic work addresses the transformation of the human body by aging and circumstance. In the late 1980s he began using a photo montage technique he termed “photo-surgery,” in which photographs were altered though manual excision, collage, and sometime defacing of the subject. These projects included the series AgeMaps, FamilyTree, and Couples. Link
