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 both social theater and psychological landscape.

Inglis positions himself as both participant and observer. His transparent approach captures moments where conscious performance meets unconscious expression.

Rejecting the pretense 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 behaviors collide with cultural social codes. His work interrogates how meaning emerges between photographer and subject, and later between viewer and image.

His 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).
