John Adams is a legendary South African artist, better known as “The Madiba Painter” and famous for raising half a million Rand for charity in 8 minutes at the inaugural AfrAsia Bank Cape Wine Auction.
I have had the privilege to work with John on a number of occasions, including the Regent Highway Heroes campaign, for which we were both Brand Ambassadors. But when I first met John, I just knew that I had to capture the man who paints such eye-catching portraits, and tell his story through my lens.
This is my third portrait photo session for John, and I am overjoyed to be the proud owner of an original John Adams painting in return!
John has also posed for my Water Series, but you’ll need to wait a while longer to see that…
Special thanks to Mitch van den Bos from Bosheuwel Country Estate for providing the perfect location for John’s photo shoot.

Your photographs are stunning & you capture the essence of your subject. You are very talented
Thanks Janet! But then I did have a great subject to capture!
These portraits are stunningly beautiful. And John’s arms! Just shows what picking up heavy paint brushes can do for one’s physique!
Hahaha! I think he picks up heavier items than paint brushes to get those arms!!
