About Me – Adam J Marsh
Welcome.
My name is Adam J Marsh, a Melbourne based Cinematographer, Gaffer & Director. I’m a Culturally Diverse & Disabled Australian, taking great pride whenever I have the pleasure of being able to collaborate and tell these stories.
I’ll work with everyone, as I believe every story is exceptional – it’s just about digging deeper, through the superficial and cliche, to finding the creative gold.
Experience side, I entered the industry back in 2012, and have been Shooting, Lighting & Directing for 8 years now. My journey has taken me far and wide to places like Hong Kong, Samoa and the Norfolk Islands.
This vocation is one of wonder, emotion and magic, as maintain a constant focus to ensure this is upheld in equal measure with the technical and logistical.
I have worked with brands and businesses such as:

The Aboriginal Land Council of NSW, Russell and Hobbes, Cobram Olive Oil, Cricket Australia, Maribyrnong City Council, Sealy Mattresses, Forty Winks, Atlassian, The Block, McDonald’s, The Bachelor, Asthma Australia, Channel 9 & Expression Australia.
I have worked in some shape or form on other 400 projects, across professional and independent projects, be it feature films – narrative & long form, documentary, news, broadcast, music videos, short films & corporate video content, with the majority of my time as Cinematographer, Gaffer or Director – in that order.
My Philosophy
I fell in love with films early.
The earliest memories I have consisted of a family outing to Coburg Drive Ins, where on the big screen – Keanu & Sandra did everything they could to defuse the bomb on their bus (whilst staring in horror at the other screen to my left showing Once Were Warriors!), all in the back of an old VC Commodore, where mozzies bit us as the speaker box off the window rattled away.
Over 30 years later, I find myself contributing to the cinematic canon.
Artists and productions make incredible sacrifices to cultivate their stories, be it financing, gathering up cast and crew, then planning, schedule and actioning the production to life, before spending even more hours in post.
My goal is to be right there alongside you, in the trenches, taking extreme accountability and diligent planning, so you can be assured and comforted that my departments efforts are in safe hands.
I have worked on over 400 projects in my 8 years of film & photography, not limited to 6 feature films and 4 feature documentaries,
