is one of the UK's most talented and successful photographers.

Son of celebrated portrait artist Esther Craig, Adrian started his career in style, securing the coveted position of assistant to legendary photographer Michael Joseph shortly after graduating.

Early success came with his innovative portraiture work.His exceptional eye for detail, and his meticulous and creative yet relaxed approach, earned Adrian a number of high profile commissions, the Princess of Wales, the Dalai Lama, Luciano Pavarotti and Jim Carey among them.

Determined not to remain studio bound, Adrian began to travel to some of the world’s most unexplored and inhospitable terrains. The powerful results of his photography soon found their way onto everything from advertising campaigns to magazine covers.

Meanwhile the stunning images that resulted from him witnessing the eruption of Mount Kilauea on Hawaii’s Big Island, were used to memorable effect in one of the Discovery Channel’s highestrating documentaries.

The publication of the first Mr and Mrs Smith guide in 2003, which showcased a collection of inspirational, luxurious and gorgeously seductive hotels in the UK and Ireland, further consolidated Adrian’s reputation.

His warm atmospheric pictures not only fired the public’s imagination, but also caught the attention of some of the world’s leading hotel brands who understand the importance of strong visual imagery being a vital part of the marketing mix.

Carving out a niche in this world, Adrian carried out high profile campaigns for the Rocco Forte Collection (BMB London), Kempinski (Landor Paris), Jumeirah and Crown Plaza (Proximity London) among others.

Other projects include a book for famed designer and hotelier Anoushka Hempel, a publication on the celebrated four seasons of Kashmir and a campaign for the London Stock Exchange, which brilliantly captured the fast moving pace of the capital by combining architectural modernity and tradition.

Adrian continues his association with Mr and Mrs Smith, having photographed European Cities; European Coast and Country and the second volume of UK and Ireland. His most recent title a collection from France to be published later this year. An exhibition of his work can currently be seen on The World Ship.

When Adrian is not on location he works from his studio in Soho, London
