Adam Regan began his career as a photographers assistant, but was lured into the advertising world with the promise of being able to afford to eat. He then spent over 20 years working as an art director and creative director for advertising agencies that included TBWA, JWT and The Ball Partnership, in London, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, New York, Paris and Chicago. During this time he created award winning work for Nissan, Philips/Norelco, Gallery 13 and Compaq Computers amongst others. Throughout this period Adam worked with some of the best photographers in the world, testing their patience with incessant questions and continually invading their personal space, so he could get a close look at how they worked. In 2008 he began shooting for himself, whilst also art directing on a freelance basis. His work was swiftly awarded and recognised by various festivals including IPA, PX3, The Photography Masters and PDN. He’s more recently been awarded by Communication Arts, National Geographic Travel and American Photographic Artists.
Adam's images have appeared in publications that include Tatler, Condé Traveler, Outlook Traveler, Elle Asia, Metro, The Guardian newspaper and many more. His fine art images have been curated by Saatchi Arts and have been added to various collections around the world. He is available for commission on both commercial and private projects. His clients have included Tishman Speyer, ASML, Getronics, SSY NY, ZocDoc, John Wright Interiors, The Charlotte Street Agency and multiple small businesses, publications and sole traders.
