Adam Bouska (born October 31, 1983 in Decatur, Illinois) is an award winning American fashion photographer who runs a photography studio based out of West Hollywood, California. He is known for pictures of male models in particular, and is considered a rising 'superstar photographer' in the gay community.[1] His work has been printed in DNA Magazine and reFRESH and has already been featured at major websites, such as Amazon.com[2] and www.tenpercent.com. Bouska's most recent acclaim has been for his work with Armani Exchange model, Ryan Barry,[3] the boyfriend of Reichen Lehmkuhl.[citation needed] He is also noted for his work with celebrities:America's Next Top Models: Bre Scullark, Michelle Deighton, Amanda Babin and Michelle Babin, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy: Jai Rodriguez, and JD Jordan from Bravo's Work Out.

Bouska is openly gay.[4] He lives in West Hollywood, California and was recognized as the community's leading photographer at the West Hollywood awards in January 2008.[5]

In November 2008, in response to the narrow approval in California of Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage, Adam and his partner, Jeff Parshley, founded the NOH8 Campaign to promote the overturn of this ban. While beginning at a grassroots level, by April 2009 the campaign had seen support from such celebrities as Leslie Jordan, Shanna Moakler and RichGirl and became involved in the Miss USA 2009 controversy.[6]

I was watching "Pride: Gay & Lesbian stand-up"{I think that's the name} The guy that was on, kept doing "ass" jokes...and the occasional fart joke....Mum chirped "Why must every gay stand up be ass and dick?" I knew where she was heading, that and he was slightly over-the-top [I still found him funny] So, to avoid a sour moment, I said 'ok, fine, I'll change it"..
Sooo, I put it on Shaquille O'neals stand-up comedy, I obviously wanted stand-up comedy, there's this rather Big gentleman, nicely dressed, every word's almost a wheeze, he says "my mamma, she wanted my worse 'yo mama' joke, since I'm a comedian, i gave it to her, and she says dat's your worse??...I sez 'yup, u wanna try?', She pipes up 'Yo mamma so nasty...So so Nasty, She'll suck yo daddy's dick and Right after she done, come to your room & kiss u goodnight'. I shuddered and said "Oh fuck no, Ewww...!" I started chuckling...then it tickled the core of my stomach, my eyes watered, I looked at my mum and between a quiet attempt not to snicker I asked "U were saying?". She had this..Unique shy smile, and Deer-caught in Headlights glance..I burst out laughin', I almost lost my balance..
