Adam’s works cover a wide range of themes and categories. Besides street photography, he is equally adept in other areas. His winning entry, “The Visitor”, Black& White Magazine’s Spotlight Award, showcases his superlative skill in photographic abstract art. Perhaps to better express it, it is his ability to discern the special, the significance out of the ordinary with his unique sight and capture it through his masterful skill and narrative.
Adam establishes photography classes, workshop and sharing fellowship and leads travel trips with the single-minded devotion to teach this art to his others. He shares his philosophy openly and his techniques unreservedly. He compressed his perception and interpretation, his invention and creative skill into a series of courses to allow quick comprehension of theory and easy mastery of techniques to those who learn from him.
When asked about his love of photography, he said, “The art of photography has to be arise from the heart and touched the feeling and emotion, it arouses senses and recognises beauty. We must come to grip that we are artists, with high passion for art, a love in creating and a zeal to elevate our artistic level with inventive ideas and vivid imagination”.
Mission
Adam believes that all human has an inner drive or a secret wish to be good in any form of art. And photography is probably the closest to art for most of us to engage in this age and time. Through photography we could reclaim the artist in us.
The mission of Adam Tan Academy is to educate and influence the development of fine art photography. Adam uses photography as a form of visual art to express his aesthetic view, and a platform to reach out to anyone who shares the same love for this art form.
