Our guests make decisions on which villa to rent without visiting our houses. The rental cost can be substantial. This involves trust in what we say and how we promote the houses.The role of photography in our marketing is not just important, it is critical. Adam understands this and captures our properties perfectly. His attention to important detail is immense. He manages to control the art and the science in a wonderfully calm, relaxed and professional way. His photography delivers exactly what we want to achieve; the truth, beautifully told.

Mike Weyerhaeuser - Photographer / Managing Director, JDP Freesport, Ltd. (colleague)
“Ads worked as a sport photographer with me for a stretch covering FIS World Cup Skier Cross and Snowboard events for my agency, JDP Freesport, Ltd. He worked from a brief to supply content for the library in the hopes of signing an agency contract with the FIS for Skier-Cross annual coverage. In this stead, he showed sound initiative by approaching and promoting the library and our services with officers of the FIS. I can heartily recommend Adam for his work as a photographer, delivering professional-level work in a timely manner and to spec. He works well with people - this is his speciality - and keeps an eye on the objective at hand. His work for the agency can be viewed on the www.jdpfreesport.com library. Please contact me at [email protected] if you would like further information. Thanks!” 3

Great Results, Personable, Creative
“Adam Johnston has worked for us on a number of our corporate events and has delivered consistently beautiful work. He is not only highly profe es to skate gracefully around clients producing extraordinary photographic and video records of them seemingly invisibly. There are many photographers who know how to use cameras. There are few that capture the essence, mood and context as Adam does. There is a genius in this talent that goes beyond technique (which he has) and crosses into pure creativity. When Adam is available we breathe a sigh of relief since our client relationships are always enhanced with his help. Thank you Adam.”

Details of the Recommendation: "Adam's professional results were consistently so outstanding that my wife and I asked him to photograph our wedding as a special favour to us. Kindly he accepted and as a result we have a wedding album that consistently astonishes friends and colleagues.
His professional range is very broad, though live sports action and architectural shoots are my favourite of his portfolio. His exterior building photo shoots tend to a striking beauty that draws out the absolute best in the location in question.
Adam is exceedingly professional to work with and has an intuitive understanding of what the client has in mind, often recognising what they actually aspire to seeing in an image before they realise themselves. Such is what makes Adam exceptional in his field - he delivers to a brief, but still gets the absolute most out of that brief.
I have no hesitation in recommending Adam for any professional photography needs anyone might have."

Mike England, UK Vaccines Medical Director - GlaxoSmithKline UK
Adam did an outstanding job for our wedding in September 2012 in Ibiza.
We live in the UK and the wedding took place in Spain. Adam was recommended to us by friends and we met him beforehand in Spain where he listened to our thoughts and preferences for the day. He also made great suggestions we hadn’t thought about. We had good continuous contact by email and telephone and Adam was available for discussion in the months before the event which, again, reassured us.
On the day Adam was incredibly professional, completely inconspicuous and the taking of the photographs did not detract from the party in any way and that’s tribute to his skill to just blend in and gently direct the crowd.
The quality of the photography was amazing and not only did Adam deliver what we had requested beforehand he went above and beyond with creative and spontaneous shots that captured the mood and flow of the day, which is priceless. Our album was just perfect and friends and family have commented on the great photographs and how easy they are to access from Adam’s website.
In summary a wedding day is such a special day and we feel Adam captured the essence of it and did a fantastic job leaving us and our guests with photos that take you right back to day itself. We cannot thank Adam enough for what he has delivered and We would highly recommend him to anyone.
Thank you,
Mike and Dov

Roland Topf - Owner at Honkey Tonk Productions
It gives me great pleasure to write this recommendation for Adam Johnston as aside from being a good friend I have watched his professional career as a photographer grow at an incredible rate of knots these past few years. As a friend he is loyal, diligent, reliable, accountable, efficient, caring, and trustworthy all of which he carries through to his professional side.
I have taken on Adam to photograph events and weddings that we have been a part of and his keen eye and unique spin on things that most photographers would miss ensure that you not only get classic highly polished images you also get something quite unique and outstanding.
I obviously have no hesitation in recommending Adam for any photography whether still or action shots

Dear Adam, this was the best shooting I ever had. You have the things a really good photographer needs to have: passion, the sense of the right moment, and the feeling for people. All of your pics tell a story and show expressive emotions. You catched my personality in many ways and touched my heart with the pics. I thank you very much for that and I am looking forward working with you again. Greetings from Germany.

Adam was great at understanding our requirements (even when briefing him over the phone for a ski shoot from the UK!). He worked with our staff really well to get some amazing shots and also suggested some really different shots that will be fabulous for the many brochures we produce.
Every time we receive the download link from Adam after a shoot we are always 100% happy.
