Adele Thomas is a former native of Cornwall (UK), who now resides and works between Los Angeles and Vancouver BC, freelancing as a photographer, writer and director.
“I love adventure and telling stories. It’s in my genes. My granddad was like Big Fish, filling my imagination with outrageous ideas from a young age. Let’s just say they made an impression that I’m sure are fundamental to why I want to keep telling stories until the day I die.”
With over ten years working in the industry as a photography producer, Adele has experienced a variety of small and large scale sets in both stills and motion. She’s in her happy place when creating and loves working alongside a team.
Adele’s photography work has been shown in solo and collaborative photography exhibitions, in Canada and the US and her short dance film, She, picked up handful of international awards on the film festival circuit 2021-2022.
Adele has worked for a variety of clients over the years but feels most aligned when working with conscious enterprises that are supportive of diversity, sustainability and giving back.

In “The Truth Is..”, artists and collaborators Lindsay Elliot, Sarah Tesla and Adele Thomas present a selection of their photographic works focused around the interrelationships between people and place.
Using a mix of landscape and portraiture, each photograph embodies an individual truth as it is manifest in experience: from the beauty of the Lower Mainland, to several locations across North and West Africa and the Middle East.
Artist Statement:
Initiated in 2015, this Dance Series is founded in the five primordial elements that make up our world and our bodies: fire, water, earth, air, and spirit. Working in collaboration with local dancers, these photographs seek to capture the strength and fluidity of dancers’ movements and invoke feelings of isolation and freedom when immersed within the raw beauty of nature. The dance is symbolic to the elements, and emphasizes that we come of the earth, not "into" it. By exploring powerful movement and intuitive self expression, the dancer truly embodies the connection to one or more of the elements. This series unites the female form in their strength, in their power and in their beauty, as captured in the fantastical art form of dance.
