Kevin Shea Adams is a photographer based in Sausalito, CA. He grew up in the nearby town of Fairfax and spent much of his time hiding in the high school darkroom before moving to the East Bay to study philosophy and music at UC Berkeley and Mills College. Supporting himself as a musician for many years by working in both photography and design, he relocated to New York in 2009 where his photographic took on a life of its own. After leaving a position with Design Within Reach, where he’d launched their first film series with interviews featuring prominent industrial designers, Kevin began freelancing around the city as an arts and culture photographer and writer contribuing at magazines like VICE, Nylon, Paper, and Playboy. It was with this editorial work that he brought together his photography and background as an artist with his writing and interviews, creating stories in a unique style that informs his practice today. In his commercial work with design and technology clients, Kevin comnbines a refined fine arts approach to photography with an investigative journalist’s instinct for finding and following the story.
   
His photo essays have been featured on several occasions in The New York Times and recent commercial clients include Shaper Tools, IDEO, 3M and Apple. In his free time, Kevin is an avid surfer, guitarist, and music producer.
