Životopis
Narodil se v St. Louis ve státě Missouri do zámožné rodiny. Vystudoval Phillips Academii v Andoveru. Vystudoval francouzskou literaturu. Po roce stráveném v Paříži se vrátil do New Yorku, aby se připojil k tamním umělcům a literátům jako byli například jeho kamarádi John Cheever, Hart Crane a Lincoln Kirstein.
Evans v roce 1933 fotografoval na Kubě pro vydavatele Carletona Bealse materiál pro knihu The Crime of Cuba, revolty proti diktátorovi Gerardo Machadovi. Na Kubě se také seznámil s Ernestem Hemingwayem.
Roku 1935 Evans pracoval pro organizaci Resettlement Administration (RA) v Západní Virginii a Pensylvánii. Od října pokračoval na práci pro RA a později přešel k Farm Security Administration (FSA), převážně působící v Jižních státech.
Evans zemřel v New Havenu v Connecticutu v roce 1975.

"New Orleans downtown street, Louisiana" c. December 1935.
View shows Canal Street from near the foot, at Front Street on the lower side of Canal, looking away from the River. Abundant business signs are on the block, with that for Sun Coffee Shop closest, the business being on the corner at the right. The pole marking a barber shop is just beyond. Other signs seen include "Oriental Laundry -- Not in the Trust" and restaurants with ads for Regal Beer and Luzianne Coffee. In full resolution version, chalk board menus on street can be read; note the prices are in cents.
