Jen Adam Photography offers captured moments between you and your loved ones – moments you want to cherish forever. Jen loves to capture the “mood and moment” and tell the story of what happens behind the lens. Her lifestyle portraits includes photographing the softness of newborns in various foetal positions as well as the mischievousness of toddlers or self awareness of teens. Doing maternity or family photo shoots in studio or on location are also some of her specialties. Her preference is rather to capture a natural moment of joy, happiness or sadness in a smile rather than a staged formal shot. She likes to believe she offers a fun, stress-free photo shoot for everyone concerned.

PAINTING  - her work can also be viewed and purchased on  www.fineartportfolio.co.za

To admire Jen Adam’s warm and soulful ethnic canvases is to experience a spiritual journey into Africa. Depicting mostly women and children walking through vast, arid, glowing landscapes, she captures the pure innocence of rural Africa at its best, a dry, hot and at times barren land but emotionally and spiritually rich with its diverse cultures, rural people and magnificent fiery sunrises and sunsets. In her paintings the women almost always have a thin flowing white fabric draped over their clothing, her symbol of the emotional and spiritual strength these women have against extreme poverty and adversity in their mostly humble lives. Etched against the burning earth, these silhouettes capture our imagination bringing a positive energy and tranquility to the viewer allowing us a warm and spontaneous invitation to dream whilst listening quietly and capturing the mood. Jen also loves painting abstracts, landscapes and contemporary pieces.

FRIDGE MAGNETS – COTTAGE INDUSTRY BUSINESS - PHUMALENI ARTS
Another area of creativity which Jenny has pursued for the last three years is ethnic fridge magnets. She has a team of rural ladies who work from her studio who hand-paint each and every piece with their own designs thus depicting their individual talent and characters. These are then packaged and distributed to outllets all over South Africa which sell to mostly the overseas tourist.

This small cottage industry has enriched the lives of these women making them proud of their achievements, helping them feed and educate their families, and thus enriching the very souls of the women she paints.

Jenny feels blessed to have a most wonderful, joyous and purposeful life.
