Hello World!
I don’t know what I’m doing here.
There, I said it, imposter syndrome attack out the way, now lets get on with things!
Purpose
"Happiness is only real when shared"
Purpose, along with compassion, is perhaps the most important thing for us to attain, provide and focus on in order to lead a fulfilling life. So what is the purpose of this space?
I am Adam de-Ste-Croix, a photographer. I love stories told through a creative medium. For me that is photography and I love to tell the story of real life; the characters, the places, the life. My purpose is to not produce photos that merely show what some moment looked like, but to convey to the viewer it felt for the people in the story, or how it felt to be in that place. To do this I most often have to overcome the fear that comes naturally to an introvert and immerse myself into the situation. I also do this for my weddings clients to tell the real life stories by immersing myself into the day, more like a guest, or perhaps a better way to put it might be as photographer at a wedding ratter than a wedding photographer. For travel adventures I need to immerse myself in to that place, be it as a city dweller or living at one with nature, to gain an awareness and consideration for how sentient beings coexist.
You can see that work over on my people photography website, www.SainteCroix.co.uk
Real life Adventures
"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure"
I am a big fan of real life. Of the story tellers, documentaries and then those with great imagination that inspire us through any medium. I hope that through this website I will be able to tell not just stories of adventures I have but of the stories of others, their purpose. I welcome commissions from business to tell your story and all the while make this an interesting place from which to view the world.
There is one more possibility to all this. I travel a lot for the purpose of exploring the world through photography. I also teach photographers. A merger of these two has been considered so that the adventures and experience can be shared. Watch this space.
Let’s explore, dream, discover; together.
Anyway, this is me, Adam de-Ste-Croix...
… I hope you enjoy coming on the adventures with me. See you soon!
PS: Before I forget, the photo up top and the other one on the front page is part of a series I’ve created from a very calm Solent viewed from Southsea beach. Maybe worthy of their own blog post soon.
