Adam's passion for photography blossomed during his high school years, prompting him to pursue it as a professional career. He graduated first in his class from the Hallmark Institute of Photography in 2009 and embarked on a journey to establish his portfolio. From 2010 to 2016, Adam honed his skills and expertise as a commercial photographer, learning everything he could from the industry.
Adam, always up for a new challenge, decided to expand his horizons and delve into the world of cinematography. Over the next 8 years, he honed his craft as a freelance cinematographer, lending his expertise to a wide array of projects including commercials, short films, music videos, feature films, and TV productions. Adam is drawn to cinematography by the ability to serve the story and meet the director's vision through lighting, composition, and camera movement.
Not only is Adam a professional with a camera, he is in skateboarding as well. Just like his life as a skateboarder, he’s not afraid to take risks when it comes to achieving goals. And when he doesn’t have a camera in his hand or a skateboard under his feet, Adam enjoys seeking out new adventures with his wife, playing retro video games, and trying out new dinner recipes.
