Photographer & Creative Director

Adele De Bruyn is a South African editorial photographer and creative director based in Ireland; whose work lives at the intersection of photography, design, and storytelling. With a BA in Photographic Media and a background in Photography, Graphic Design and Motivational content creation, her work moves fluidly between intimate, human moments and polished, high-impact visuals for brands and professionals.

Over the past decade, Adele has developed a diverse portfolio that includes weddings and events, editorial portraits, beauty campaigns, and commercial brand photography. Her experience in the weddings; model and fashion industry has sharpened her ability to craft visually compelling narratives that serve both artistic expression and client vision.

Her multidisciplinary path has shaped not only her aesthetic sensibility but also her voice as a creator. Whether composing a frame, designing a brand, or curating visual content for her motivational platform for women, Adele’s work is guided by purpose: to empower, to evoke, and to connect. Adele brings clarity, warmth, and a strong visual identity to everything she creates.

She has exhibited in university showcases and been featured in publications such as Mooitroues SA, IMAGE Ireland, FIGGI Magazine and ILmagazine. Alongside her photography practice, Adele is the founder of a motivational platform for women called Mooistevrou - an extension of her belief in the power of visuals to uplift, connect, and empower.

Rooted in storytelling and driven by purpose, Adele continues to evolve her visual language - seeking meaning in beauty, and beauty in meaning.
