Adam Inglis


Photographer | New York City
Adam Inglis is an Australian visual artist based in New York City. Working primarily in street photography and documentary, he explores urban spaces as social theatre and psychological landscape.
Inglis positions himself as participant and observer. His transparent approach to making pictures captures moments where conscious performance meets unconscious expression.
Rejecting any pretence of documentary neutrality, Inglis embraces photography’s constructed nature, blurring boundaries between collaboration and observation.
Drawing on media studies, psychoanalysis and critical theory, he reads urban environments as living archives where individual behaviours collide with cultural codes. His work interrogates how meaning emerges between photographer and subject, and later between viewer and image.
Adam’s photographs invite viewers to linger in uncertainty and examine how we perform identity in public spaces, offering a contemporary reimagining of street photography. One that questions both the content of vision, and the very act of looking itself.
Inglis holds a BA in Media Studies (La Trobe University) and an MA in Journalism (Monash University).
