We at CFile can spot an Adam Field Instagram instantly. His photographs are distinctive for their superb framing and composition. So over the last four months we have keeping some of the best of his images. Here they are in three albums simply titled, Color, Monochrome and Sepia.

Born and raised in Colorado, Field earned his BA in Art from Fort Lewis College. For two years he immersed himself in the culturally rich art scene of the San Francisco Bay Area, where he began his full time studio practice. From there, he relocated to Maui, where he established a thriving studio business. He spent most of 2008 in Icheon, South Korea, studying traditional Korean pottery making techniques under 6th generation Onggi master Kim Il Mahn. In 2013 he created and debuted HIDE-N-SEEKAH at the NCECA conference in Houston, TX. After maintaining his studio in Durango, CO for 5 years, Adam recently moved to Helena, MT where he is currently a long-term artist in residence at The Archie Bray Foundation. His works are included in private collections and kitchen cabinets internationally.

Amazing images! Thank you for posting.
The use of instagram photos are somewhat misleading. With the exception of the first two photos, the rest are not him, or his work. 6 of those images are Mark Hewett during a joint lecture with Adam, Mark, and Sam Chung. Adam is a master of instagram, but to make an article about him, and then use his images of other artists without proper reference comes off as slightly disingenuous.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. It should be noted that neither my clay work nor I am the intended subject of the post. The intent of the post is to highlight my work behind the lens; my instagram photography. I find the Instagram platform to be an ideal setting to share information with others in the clay community, for me that means posting images of other people and their work. I tire of posting only my own work on my feed. Finally the images of Mark Hewitt were taken at the Archie Bray during his 4-week visiting artist stay as the 2014 Voulkos Fellow and the image of Sam Chung’s work was taken from his time here at the Bray as a visiting artist in July of 2013.
Andrew,
Please note the captions under the photographs. We cited the artist where we were able. Also, the majority of these photographs are of the makers themselves. Our focus on Mr. Field here is for his work documenting these aspects of the ceramic field with his camera.
Thank you for your comment.
