Adam Nadel

Adam Nadel (born 1967) is an American photographer based in New York City.

Exhibitions of Nadel's work include If My Eyes Speak: Photographs by Adam Nadel (2007), which comprises 30 portraits of people involved in the Bosnian War, Rwandan genocide and war in Darfur; and Malaria: Blood, Sweat and Tears, a multi-media exhibition illustrating malaria's impact. Stern, Nadel said in 2010, "If you have a bunch of great pictures but they don't communicate the complexity and the important aspects of what you’re documenting, then what you have are powerful emotional photographs, but they won't offer you the possibility for education." Subjects include a Cambodian boy, a group of Nigerian men wearing gas masks and gloves and carrying spraying equipment, and a magnified mosquito's foot. Nadel also invited the Brazilian artist Kako to create a graphic novel depicting the process by which the disease is transmitted.

In 2017 Nadel's photographs of the Everglades, produced as part of a collaboration with the anthropologist Jessica Cattelino, were exhibited in Everglades National Park. In 2018 Nadel became that year's artist in residence at Fermilab, where his work was exhibited in 2019.
