Art Adams was until recently a highly regarded freelance DP working in commercials and corporates on the West coast of America.

He is known to many for his extensive contributions to sites like Pro Video Collation and CML.

He recently took up a position at Arri as a Cinema Lens Specialist, a job which allows him to geek out to his hearts content with some of the best cameras and lenses in the world.

In the first of a two parter, Art and I talk about the technical side of cinematography, his extensive camera testing and how he got into cinematography.
