Adam J. Merton

@AJMSNAPPER: Based in Cambridgeshire, UK, Adam J. Merton is a dedicated documentary photographer and proponent of 35mm film.

With roots in newspaper photojournalism, Adam brings a strong storytelling edge to every frame. His journey has taken him through the technical demands of medical imaging, the dynamism of martial arts editorials, and the intimacy of wedding photography. These diverse experiences, often fueled by creative collaboration, define his unique approach to capturing the world.

Style & Approach: Merton's photographic signature is his commitment to the documentary style, viewing himself as a visual storyteller. His work is almost exclusively presented in monochrome (black and white), a choice that strips away distraction and emphasises the core narrative. This focus on story allows his portfolio to naturally span diverse genres—including street, landscape, and architecture. He has also found a natural progression into sport photography, with a focus on rugby, echoing the coverage he provided earlier in his career.

Today, Adam's primary focus is personal: shooting for pleasure, recording his travels, and capturing the world through his unique, monochromatic, and inherently documentary eye.
