Biography:
Adam was born in Stamford, CT and raised in Providence, RI. He attended The Rhode Island School of Design where he studied animation, before completing his education at New York University Film School.
After earning his degree, Adam worked as an assistant cameraman for five years. He began shooting Music Videos and spec projects while living in the San Francisco area.
After spending time in Los Angeles building his reel, Adam moved to New York where he soon became one of the most sought after commercial Cinematographers, working for many of the industry's top Directors.
His career has become more diverse as he has forayed into the independent feature world. He shot Tom Krueger's "Fuzzy Logic" which was shown at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival and Jon Cryer's "Went to Coney Island on a Mission From God, Be Back by Five." He also shot the short film "Peppermills", which won the 1998 Berlin Film Festivals short Film Award.
