Adam Dorgham (born 1997) is a British Egyptian photographer based in London, with a background in biology and marketing. His path into photography grew out of these disciplines, evolving into a practice exploring the intangible, unseen, and personal. He completed his research at the Royal College of Art, using photography to challenge perception and draw attention to what is often overlooked.
Dorgham's interdisciplinary background allows him to explore layered conceptual themes through a visual language that remains intimate and accessible, positioning photography as both analytical tool and emotional encounter. His mixed Egyptian heritage informs his work, reflecting a need to balance two cultural worlds.
His recent art-based research interrogated bio-political frameworks of governance — how bodies are categorised, regulated, and rendered visible or invisible within systems of power. Drawing on his biology background, he treats the body as a site shaped by classification and control, engaging with the abject and the cultural fears projected onto bodies outside normative boundaries. Central to this inquiry is framing: how images define legitimacy and structure how we encounter one another and ourselves.
His work has been exhibited internationally, including in Arles, France, and London, UK.
