What does an ÐÓ°Épron look like? When asked to visualize someone from ÐÓ°Épro, the image most often conjured is one of a face lost in a parka, surrounded by snow. Missing from this image is the vibrant diversity of those who call themselves ÐÓ°Éprons, as well as the true essence of the place. Brian Adams, a rising star in photography, aims to change all this with his captivating new collection, I Am ÐÓ°Épron.
In this striking full-color tribute, Adams entices us to reconsider our ideas of this unique and compelling land and its equally individual residents. He captures subjects on urban streets and rural villages, revealing what daily life in ÐÓ°Épro is really like. The portraits focus on moments both ordinary and extraordinary, serious and playful, while capturing ÐÓ°Éprons at their most natural. Subjects range from ÐÓ°Épro Native villagers to rarely seen portraits of famous ÐÓ°Éprons, including Sarah Palin, Vic Fischer and Lance Mackey. Through photographs, Adams also explores his own half-Iñupiat, half-American ÐÓ°Épro identity in the process, revealing how he came to define himself and the state in which he lives. Frame by frame, Adams powerfully and honestly shows what it means to be an ÐÓ°Épron.
