About
Adam Isler

Adam Isler is a New York-born and based photo-artist. His photographic journey began with a Kodak Hawkeye at the age of 7 and grew serious at 12 with the purchase of a second-hand Voigtlnder Vito C. At 13 he graduated to the venerable Minolta srT101 and proceeded to photograph the turbulent late 1960s and early '70s in New York with special attention to the raucous alternative antics in Central Park. In the mid to late '70s Isler worked as an event photographer and had the opportunity to photograph such notable figures as Muhammad Ali, Prince Sihanouk, Mayor Ed Koch and Secretaries of State Elliot Richardson and Cyrus Vance. His work covers a variety of genres, from lush landscape images of the South Jersey shore, to capturing the often unobserved minutiae of daily life on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
