Adrian Lambert (b. 1972) is a British/Australian photographer living on the edge of the Peak district. Despite his age and being a mid career commercial photographer he’s an early career artist.
At the age of 13, he began photographing friends and local scenes with a camera gifted by his father. At the age of 18 he took a summer job as a photographic assistant before being due to attend University in September. By the end of the summer he was delivering his own work to clients and decided to pursue commercial photography.
Adrian spent his life around artists but commercial commissions left little time to explore his own projects. Ultimately the lure was too great. He began making photographs that explored our relationship with our day to day environment. He’s currently working on projects that explore interpersonal conflict and notions of truth though real and constructed scenes.
In the short time working on personal projects he’s won the BJP Portrait of Britain twice. He had his first exhibition at Rotterdam Photo Festival in 2020 where he was invited to speak about his work at the Nederlands Fotomuseum.
He published his first photobook in July 2020 in a collaboration with Scots poet Stuart A. Paterson.
