Hi - thanks for stopping by. My name is Adam and I am a professional cinematographer and photographer from Sydney Australia with close to 20 years experience. Below you will find information on what I have worked on, my reel (new version due out very soon), my gear, some screen grabs of my video work, and my rates.
I am also the founder of Octopus Films and besides producing video content for our clients we also help production companies from out of town bring their production to Sydney, check out the full site at octopusfilms.com.au if you would like to know more.
As a freelance shooter though I get hired by many different production companies from Sydney and around the world and also with companies direct.
