Bob Adelman

Once again, I've found a photographer I love through my photo class. This one's name is Bob Adelman, and he became popular around the time of the civil rights movement. Adelman’s photography captures Black America in a very innocent, true way. Each of his photos makes the viewer want to know more about the subject. It’s as if he catches each of his subjects’ life story in just one perfectly engaging photo. I especially love his black and white photos. His use of lighting, depth of field, and perspective is impeccable. Adelman’s images have a wonderful rawness about them. The images below are some of the photos I took a picture of our of Adelman's book "Mine Eyes Have Seen."
