David Adler

In addition to being a writer at B&H Photo, David Adler is a videographer, photographer, guitar player, and all-around tech nerd based in the greater New York City area. While simultaneously working in NYC rental houses, Adler attended CUNY Queens College and received his bachelor’s degree in Media, Arts, and Communications. Always looking to improve his crafts and satisfy his curiosities, Adler constantly keeps himself up to date with the latest goings-on in the media production industries. When he’s not busy researching anamorphic optics and overdrive pedals or discussing the minutiae of 4K, S-Log, and post-production workflows, you can usually find him jamming to some funky tunes in front of a cranked tube amplifier.
