About Peter

Peter Adams is an award-winning photographer whose work has been published in numerous outlets, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, National Geographic, Bloomberg Businessweek, IEEE Spectrum, and New York magazine.

In 2021, Peter began what would become the largest photographic exploration of the presidential library system operated by the National Archives. Over four years of research and travel, he gained rare access to these archives, locating and photographing more than 1,200 iconic objects and records—some of which have never, or rarely, been exhibited.

Adams brings a journalist’s eye to his photographic practice. His work bridges visual storytelling and archival research, using photography to explore how history has been shaped and remembered.
