Hi, I’m Adam de-Ste-Croix.
I am based in Bournemouth, its new for me since 2022 and the adventurer in me is loving the easy access to the Jurassic Coast, New Forest and of course the beach active outdoors lifestyle.
I am a dreamer with a vivid imagination and despite my school teacher saying this wasn’t good these traits have given me a rewarding career and my own business which I love.
Travel and adventure has always been a big passion in life from my earlier career as an Engineer travelling the world which later led to me exploring distant places as an adventurer carrying out self-planned expeditions; something I still make time for now.
So why Photography?
Exploring new places led to me creating storytelling photography to send home, telling tales of distant places and the interesting people I met. Wanting to show the true atmosphere of the moment taught me to observe life, people and to study light. I began all this in the 90’s, before digital, so learned photography the hard way, with film and manual settings. But I mostly learned the importance of capturing and connecting moments to create photographic stories; a friendly smile not only gets the shot but makes new friends! This all adds up to how I have created emotive storytelling photography. It allows me to provide people with real-feel documentary, portrait and wedding photography, perfect for branding commercial photography and also creates adventures along the way.
Each year (pandemic pending!) I take a month out to roam around Europe in my self-built adventure van! I also do photography training, talks for Sony at professional photography conferences and run groups of over 1000 professional photographers.
I have a passion the great outdoors. Wild spaces are my favourite places. I love to be hiking rock climbing and bouldering and I am looking to incorporate this into travels and hopefully photography too.
Any rock climbers getting married? Let’s do your rock climber wedding photography on a real high, or as Dr Seuss would say, let’s move mountains!
Looking forward to getting to know you and your story.

See you soon,
