Adam David Bencomo is a photographic artist currently based out of Baltimore, Maryland. Adam came to us in 2020 presenting a unique perspective on the queer bodies of larger men. His humor and light are threaded throughout his different series of photographs and give a perspective that welcomes all types of men into the queer world. Adam identifies as male-ish. Adam uses both they/them/their and he/him/his pronouns. They are in the process of dismantling toxic masculinity and all the negative traits that have come with what it means to “be a man.” Their work deals with a variety of subjects including but not limited to queer identity and subcultures, memorialism, gentrification, public art interaction, human consumption, and human usage.Currently, Adam has been focusing on queer subcultures and what it means to identify as a queer person of color. Additionally, they have come to celebrate radical body acceptance in queer culture by humanizing bodies that do not fit the mold of what is considered traditionally “good-looking.” They create queer art by humanizing their subjects while preserving the unique cultures to which they belong.
