Adam Clark Vroman (1856 - 1916) was an American portrait photographer, known mostly for portraits of Indians and Native American life. The leading photographer of the Pasadena, California Arroyo Culture, he was the first important American photographer to use platinum prints to emphasize modernist tones and abstraction. He was the key Western American photographer using modern techniques and materials on living tribes and current traditions, rather than working in cultural preservation of a vanishing race.
