Adam Wiseman (México,

1970)

Wiseman was born in Mexico City in 1970 and has lived in Mexico, NY, Scotland, Brazil, and London. As a graduate of the International Center of Photography in New York and a former printer at Magnum Photos, Adam Wiseman's career has been marked by his relationship to photojournalism. His subjects are interposed with an understanding of image as something between document and intersubjectivity. He has a BA from NYU in Ethnographic Film (1992) and completed the Documentary Program at the International Center of Photography in NY (1996).

In 2012 he received the prestigious national SNCA/FONCA fellowship awarded by the Mexican government as part of their National System for Creators of the Arts. In addition, he was a Photolucida Critical Mass top 50, received the Best of Show Award in the 2012 Photo Review Competition, and was named a PhotoEspaña Visionary. His work was also featured in LENSCRATCH, Fototazo, and F-Stop Magazine.

He continues to work as a freelance photographer internationally. He has collaborated for publications such as Rolling Stone, Metropolis, Domus, The New York Times, Time Magazine, Los Angeles Times Magazine, Wall Street Journal, Mens Journal, El Mundo, Le Monde, Le Monde 2, The Telegraph Magazine, The Guardian, Colors Magazine, National Geographic Traveler, National Geographic en Español, and Paris Match among others. His work has also been published in the books “Harvard Design School Guide to Shopping,” by Rem Koolhaas/Tashen, “New York September 11 by Magnum Photographers” by Powerhouse Books, “Mutations” by Actar, and "The Endless City" by Phaidon/London School of Economics.

His work has been exhibited in the US, Switzerland, Spain, NY, Mexico, and Japan at the 2006 Venice Biennal. In addition, he has a photograph from 9-11 in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. and the 9/11 Memorial in NY.
