Biography: Adam McKay is a cinematographer with over 15 years experience. His work spans independent features and larger productions, where he’s learned—sometimes the hard way—that light, lenses, and limitations shape emotion as much as performance does. Rather than chasing polish for its own sake, Adam focuses on creating images that serve both character and story. His approach to cinematography is grounded in understanding the technical, as well as the creative, with the sole goal of serving the story at hand.
