Beginning his long career as a DP in 1966, Adam Greenberg (born Adam
Grinberg in Krakow, Poland, raised in Tel Aviv) from the mid-sixties and
throughout the seventies worked in Israel, most notably the Golan and
Globus-produced Lemon Popsicle. After working with Sam Fuller on The Big Red
One in 1980, he began working in North America on all manner of genre films
throughout the 1980s, most notably The Terminator, Near Dark, Three Men And A
Baby and Turner & Hooch, before his greatest success in the early-nineties.
Following on from 1990’s smash-hit romance Ghost, he shot James Cameron’s
long-awaited sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Greenberg’s work on this film,
expertly capturing all of the action, drama and visual effects and unifying
them into a single cohesive visual aesthetic, earned him an Academy Award
nomination. He would continue to work throughout the nineties and early-2000s,
several times again with Arnold Schwarzenegger, but has gradually reduced his
work-rate, his last major feature being 2006’s Snakes On A Plane and most
recently 2013’s documentary Footsteps In Jerusalem.
