About Adam Smith.
Adam Smith graduated from the University of Mississippi with a degree in business and a love of photography. Time spent in Mississippi provided Adam with unique opportunities to document the landscape and music of the state, especially the blues and the indelible culture which surrounds it. In this fertile environment, Adam photographed T-Model Ford, R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Paul “Wine” Jones, Eddie Cusic, and Alvin Youngblood Hart as well as Cedell Davis and Robert Lockwood, Jr.
When world acclaimed photographer, Annie Leibovitz, needed someone to accompany her on a shoot in the Mississippi Delta, she selected Adam for his knowledge of the region and his relationships with the blues artists.
After leaving Mississippi, Adam lived in Atlanta where he managed the Department of Photography at the Atlanta School of Art and studied for an M.F.A. in Photography.
Adam is currently the Music and Entertainment Director at the Hummingbird Stage and Taproom in Macon, Ga. where he pursues his career as a freelance photographer.
Band photo credits include Drive-byTruckers, North Mississippi All Stars, The Whigs, The Dexateens, and Lucero.
Adam has photographed Marty Stuart, Kathy Mattea, Patterson Hood, and Porter Wagoner, as well as many other well known musicians.
Adam’s photography has appeared in the following publications: Paste Magazine, Billboard Magazine, Living Blues, Hittin’ The Note, and Mojo, to name just a few.
Adam was selected as Photographer of the Year by the 11th Hour in Macon, Ga. His work has appeared in galleries in Oxford, Mississippi, Atlanta, and Macon, Ga. His photographs have been chosen for permanent display at the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.
Adam respects and admires those he “shoots”, remaining interested in their lives and careers long after he has captured their images. He would not want to leave anyone out. Adam would mention Precious Bryant and the album cover he did for “Fool Me Good” and ask you to check out his work on two albums for the Drive-by Truckers: “The Dirty South” and “Live at the 40 Watt.”
Adam’s work is best described by those who know it well and were kind enough to publish their opinions which you will notice throughout this website.
