Pretty much this is nose porn, with a side of appreciation for his beautiful eyelids and lashes, and his mouth, of course.

I love how the photographer honed in so unapologetically on his most distinctive features. There's no editing out of moles or scars here, no smoothing of skin texture, not even an attempt at a "pleasant" facial expression. It's purely Adam, in all his somewhat broody, bespangled glory.

Photo used for reference was one of many beautiful shots taken by Miller Mobley for the Hollywood Reporter Actors Roundtable in Dec 2019.

This was a quickie, about 4 hours from start to "make myself walk away" finish. After over 10 days of focusing on another project, it was such a relief to get to paint Adam again! I kind of wanted to make it brushier and more contrasty, but this is how it wanted to be. So here it is.
