Xavier Adams is a photographer and aspiring cinematographer based in Huntsville, Alabama. Raised as an Army brat before settling in Augusta, Georgia, Xavier graduated with a B.A. in Film/Video Production from Georgia State University in 2020.

After graduating, Xavier pursued film photography to flesh out his creativity while working in the public sector. He initially began photography in 2015, but it wasn’t until he started shooting 35mm film in 2021 that it became a full-fledged creative hobby. Furthermore, he views it as an opportunity to build community before returning to the film industry. He primarily operates in a self-made darkroom to develop film and photographic prints.

Xavier’s photographs have been exhibited in numerous places, such as the Huntsville Museum of Art (2023), Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (2025), Huntsville City Hall (2025), and “Framing the Future: a Black Photographers’ Gallery” in Huntsville’s Orion Amphitheater (2025).
