Brent Galen Adkins (they/them) is a Philadelphia-based artist whose photography explores intimacy, identity, and the connection between people and their spaces. Their current work centers on the interplay of nature and urban settings and how it reflects the same push-and-pull for acceptance, safety, and belonging that exists within the queer community. Through documentation and collaborative portraiture, they seek to highlight the beauty and ingenuity of resilience in life against structural adversity.
Adkins holds a B.F.A. from Rowan University and their work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at Vox Populi, Practice Gallery, and Millepiani Rome.
They are available for commissions or collaborations. Reach out for photography work, prints, or creative assistance.
