     Adam DuBrowa shoots with a pair of Nikon D-3 full-frame SLRs. As a DP with a career emphasis on documentary production, he lenses assignments for National Geographic, Discovery Channel and Fortune 500 companies on expeditions in science, nature, weather and social endeavors. Shooting high speed sequences of the latest technologies aboard the F-22 Raptors, F-18 Hornets, stealth fighters, Blackhawks, Seahawks and a diverse fleet of FEMA disaster operations aircraft has also proven him an accomplished aerial cinematographer.

Signs of Spring in the Desert by Adam DuBrowa

While documenting the riparian corridors of California after severe winter weather caused flooding, landslides, and mudslides to the region, my work took me to places in six counties in advance of spring's bloom. I was to document the damages associated with flooding, and the response to those communities and public entities that were affected. In doing so, I grew a profound appreciation for the desert, and the wildlife that live in the unforgiving dynamic environment.

I began to see things in my steps in search of the water's source, high notes of nature, and witnessed the gentle birth of the spring season. I saw nature coming out of its slumber, transforming into spring, and I witnessed the sun grow the flowers, which grew the pollinators, which grew the predators. I was inspired by the quiet, simple, and beautiful world of the desert.

Adam is freelancing at Backyard Productions in Venice, CA and completed principal photography on the feature documentary “Tapped,” an inside look into the bottled water industry. His photography for a special National Geographic Society documentary on Grizzly Bear attacks comes out next month. Currently, Adam is deployed on assignment photographing the Calexico, California 7.2 magnitude earthquake for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Learn more about his documenting the damage, as well as the federal, state, and local response to the disaster here.
