Meet Adam Gray
Kuba Studios | England
Adam is the Director and Photographer at Kuba Studios. He is also the proud Dad to a Mini-Labradoodle Kuba.
Adam has won awards for his animal portraiture and always looks to give back to animals through charities and rescues.
After spending his childhood surrounded by fur babies, Adam learned the importance of respect and love for our furry friends. He discovered that even though they may not be able to talk or look back – their needs are just about equal! As a result – he now spends all days photographing dogs and helping families create beautiful wall art they can cherish.
When Adam isn’t in the studio, he is usually spending time with his fur babies and human family as well as reading, and learning more about animal behaviour. With Adam as your photographer, you and your fur babies will be in good hands and have a wonderful experience together.
He’s an experienced photographer who knows how to make every moment with his subjects feel special. With Adam by your side, you’ll be able to capture the most adorable pictures ever!
Adam launched Kuba Studios in 2020 and has already has over 300 clients since! He uses Facebook Ads to bring in 20 clients a month.
