Anyes Adams is a French photographer now living between Great Guana Cay in the Bahamas and Europe. She started printing her own black & white photographs at 14 and later went on to study photography in San Francisco where she worked as a photo stylist. She now works digitally using the same process as in the darkroom, layering her images of nudes with sea or skyscapes. The images become surrealist and spirits fill her landscapes.
Anyes has shown her work in Paris, San Francisco, Miami, Denver and the Bahamas.

sketches of what's happening in the Denver art scene. By Michael Paglia. Article Published Feb 19, 2004
Art review from Westword,, about group show at Emile Nelson Gallery in Denver (February 2004): The Nude in Art: Classical to Contemporary. Prints, drawings, photographs and sculptures make up the show, all of them depicting naked men and women. Some of the most interesting are the charcoal figure studies from the 1890s by Boston artist William Partridge Burpee. Also choice are the two lovely Pierre Bonnard prints from the early twentieth century. Most of the contemporary art in this show is neo-traditional, but there is an exception: new photos by Anyes Adams that demurely reveal both sexes in surrealistic-style photos that are downright hallucinatory.

The ABACONIAN JULY 15, 2006. Art review by Mirella Santillo
The Conch Pearl Gallery Presents Artists
New to Abaco but not new to the art scene, Anyes and Michael Adams presented their work for the first time in Marsh Harbour at the Conch Pearl Gallery on June 16. Mr. and Mrs. Adams moved to Great Guana Cay from Breckenridge, Colorado, nine months ago. A photographer by trade, Anyes was immediately inspired by the natural beauty of their new surroundings and started to create photographic compositions. On several of her photographs, she has superimposed scenes from Paris, (the Louvre Museum), Venice and Colorado with Bahamian landscapes and nude poses taken on Guana Cay. Bahamian Myths, the theme of the exposition, takes one to a surreal world of human beauty, sunrise and sunset, sea and sand in a timeless atmosphere where art is the only real thing. The professional model is a Mexican Indian who, Anyes said, “is beautiful. She reminds me of the Lucayan Indians, hence the theme’s name.” She presented 18 photographs in black and white and color.
