Bio
Adam Kuehl was born in Oak Park, Illinois. While obtaining a BFA and MFA in photography from SCAD, he worked for the university to produce award-winning lookbooks, national ad campaigns and coffee table books including Perfect Porches: Designing Welcoming Spaces for Outdoor Living (Clarkson Potter, 2010), Little Black Dress (Skira Rizzoli, 2013), Oscar de la Renta: His Legendary World of Fashion (Skira Rizzoli, 2015) and SCAD, The Architecture of a University (Assouline, 2017).
Although Kuehl thrives in photographing a variety of subjects, his work is rooted in nighttime landscapes.

Kuehl was named 25 Under 25: Up-And-Coming American Photographers by the Center for Documentary Studies. His commercial work has appeared in The New York Times, Architectural Digest, Vogue, PDN, National Geographic Traveler among many others.

While overseas, he continued to work commercially producing images for clients including Louis Vuitton Hong Kong, Lanvin, Restoration Hardware, and The International Finance Centre. Kuehl moved back to the States in 2020 where he continues to work as a freelance photographer based in Savannah, GA.
