Personal Info
Before I introduce you to the photographer, let me tell you a bit about the person behind the camera. I’m Adam, a self-proclaimed nerd who lives on PB&J sandwiches (grape jelly only, of course) and laughs at his own not-so-funny jokes. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll probably find me watching anime, reading manga, or rolling dice in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. I don’t drink, smoke, or use profanity - it’s just not my style.
My History
As the son of a five-time Grammy and eight-time Golden Mike Award–winning editor for Fox News, I was introduced to the world of media at an early age. I began acting as a lad, appearing in commercials and short video series, never realizing that my exposure to production was quietly shaping my passion for creating and capturing stories.
Though I never intended to pursue acting as a full-time career, I loved being on set, surrounded by creative minds and the energy of storytelling in motion. During secondary school, I discovered Adobe’s creative software and threw myself into video production. I’d spend countless hours experimenting with effects and edits, and before long, classmates and even teachers were asking for help with their own video projects. What began as a pastime soon turned into a modest little business. I even earned a bit of pocket money helping others bring their ideas to life.
When a representative from Brooks Institute of Photography visited my campus, I shared some of my work and was eventually offered a full scholarship. While exploring the school’s programs, I wandered into the photography department and found something that truly challenged me. The creative control, the precision, and the storytelling behind each frame drew me in, and over time, I fell completely in love with the craft.
I began photographing anything I could, ducks and birds at the local park, my siblings (who quickly grew rather tired of it), and soon after, a friend’s wedding. They needed someone affordable, and though I was terrified, I said yes. That wedding, the same year I bought my first camera, was the start of everything. I’ve been behind the lens ever since.
