About

Jeppesen’s large-format photographs are rooted in the tradition of German documentary with its tendency toward classification. This is an impressionistic take on the visual index — one that seeks out the spontaneous and the discarded, the undefined and the uncertain.

William Pym said, “The work of Adam Jeppesen invites thoughts about the origins and the future of the documentary photographer – perhaps “social photographer” is the word I’d rather use – the kind of artist who does not ostensibly stage the world, but prefers to watch it, then frame it as it is. The only act of manipulation, the only insertion of opinion, comes as the artist’s eye decides what will fit inside the rectangle of the aperture; the rest is already there.”
