David Emitt Adams is an emerging photographer currently based in the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area in Texas. Born in Yuma, Arizona, he pursued a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree from Bowling Green State University in Ohio and returned to Arizona for his Master’s of Fine Arts degree from Arizona State University. David is gaining attention as an artist whose current practice engages historical media and uses them in an informed contemporary dialogue about photography’s past and present. His work has been selected for the prestigious LensCulture International Exposure Award, the Freestyle Crystal Apple Award for Outstanding Achievement in Black and White Photography, and the Nathan Cummings travel grant, which allowed him the opportunity to investigate the resurgence of historic photographic processes in France and England. David has exhibited throughout the United States and abroad, including Santa Barbara Museum of Art, The Studio in London, and VOZ’ Gallery in Paris. For 2014, he has scheduled shows with the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, Massachusetts and the Colorado Photographic Arts Center in Denver. He has been a guest lecturer at the San Francisco Art Institute sponsored by PhotoAlliance, the Carnegie Museum of Art as part of the 2012 f295 Symposium, and the 50th annual Society for Photographic Education National Conference. His work is in the permanent collection of The Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Northlight Gallery and numerous private collections.
