Trust Adams to snap your beautiful pictures
His passion for photography shines through in every image he captures.
Capturing beautiful moments is what this 23-year-old photographer knows best. Keith Malcom Adams lives in Melville where he also has his studio.
“I started doing photography in 2021 when I finally got my first camera. I was working at Melville in a café and with the salary I was getting there I started buying equipment – soft box lights, lenses, backdrops and reflectors for my studio,” he explained.
” In June, I finally quit my job and started my photography business. It has been doing well despite challenges I face, such as load-shedding which sort of slows down the business.
“Hard work is all I was taught by both parents and it moulded me to be the man I am today.”
Adams was inspired by the story of a famous American photographer: Ansel Adams He then furthered his skills in photography by getting Photoshop courses in editing and retouching.
Outdoor photography is his best-loved, as it provides him with the perfect platform to show off his inherent abilities, without having to depend on artificial lighting. This has enhanced his camera skills. He works with a team of two girls and two boys.
With the support he is getting from his sister, Ntombizile Siziba, Adams was able to get a big and growing clientele since she has been helping him to market his business, which he registered early this year. He also uses social media like Instagram and Facebook to market his business
To make his customers feel comfortable in front of the camera, Adams plays their favourite songs during the photoshoot and hyping them to bring out the best in them.
“Photography has helped me improve my living standard, to easily interact with different people, go places, and my communication skills have also improved. And I do it with passion because this is one thing I love doing every day. I want to say to all youth it’s not too late to have something that you own. Invest in yourself and most of all believe in your dreams. I want to thank everyone who supports me in my community.”
