Adam Fuss

Adam was born in London, England and currently lives in works in NYC. He first started studying photography in Australia, working for a commercial photographer.


I am not in love with all of his work, but I was impressed by his cocoon series.
I think that the detail is nothing short of amazing. You can almost see through the "skin". It reminds me of science fictions movies, and some sort of human or alien is going to pop out.
They also look like they are light from within, they have illuminating appeal to them, which also reminds me of life in a more symbolic way.
