NEWS & EVENTS
Join us for Butch Adams' Gallery Show -Friday 20 July 6-9 PM-
Butch Adams has been a mainstay of the Salt Lake City professional photographer community for forty years and counting. Entirely self-taught and for most of his career self-employed, Butch has helped commercial clients as diverse as Capitol Records, Vogue, Black Diamond Equipment, ZCMI, Glamour, Patagonia, Inc., Deseret Book, and KÜHL engage their audiences through compelling images.
Butch has also found a bit of time through the decades to capture magical moments in time and place, whether in the mountains, in a city, on the road, or in a studio. This show offers a selection of Butch’s commercial and personal work. The unifying theme is the undeniable fact that the photographer is captivated with what’s in the frame, whether a beautiful woman, a designed object, or a singular scene from life; Butch would like to share with you the seductive world he sees through his lens.
