Adam Stoltman
 As a photographer, Adam Stoltman’s work has appeared in Time, Newsweek, LIFE, Sports Illustrated, The New York Times Sunday Magazine, New York, Stern, Bunte, Paris Match and a host of other publications in the United States and Europe. He has covered nine Olympic Games and most major sporting events, some as a photographer and others as an editor, and has photographed long term feature stories on cultural figures and artists, including Maya Lin, and Leonard Bernstein.
He was one of a team of four editors who developed, produced and edited visual coverage at The New York Times Sunday Magazine. This included covers and spreads of significant political and cultural figures. The same team also coordinated award winning coverage of major world events, including the fall of the Eastern Bloc, Tiannamen Square, The first Gulf War and the Oil Fires of Kuwait. Working with the New York Times Digital, he helped them to develop and implement some of their first visually based digital offerings, which included IPIX and other streaming media presentations.
While deputy picture editor for feature photography at Sports Illustrated, Adam helped oversee the expansion of the visual element for all feature stories by working closely with editors and photographers to develop longer term projects and concepts. Innovative use of 3D photography resulted in several specialty projects including the 2000 3D Swimsuit and Olympics issues. In 2004, he undertook an editing project which entailed reviewing every single photograph in every single issue from the magazine's inception in 1954 to the present day. The result of this exercise was to define what would become the magazine's award winning Special 50th Anniversary Photography Issue, one of a series of four special issues designed to celebrate that milestone.
As an entrepreneur he co-founded and co-published Journal E, an award winning online magazine devoted to human storytelling through photography and new media. The website published streaming and rich media presentations as a technology and content leader. Journal E was twice awarded “best use of photography on the Internet” honors in the prestigious Pictures of the Year competition, and visitors to the site routinely spent upwards of 1 hour per visit as early as 1997.
He has served on the International Advisory Council for The George Eastman House in Rochester, and has helped to advise the institution on collecting and programming strategies within a digital imaging environment, and envisioning ways in which the museum can transition to digital and new media. He has presented seminars related to new media and photography at The Poynter Institute, Macworld Expo, Quicktime Live and, and has taught at New York's International Center for Photography, The Palm Beach Photo Workshops, and The Eddie Adams Photo Workshop.
