Science in Cinematography

Since the Spring of 2010 I have taught Science of Cinematography, the only science credit course within NYU Tisch School of the Arts Film/TV school.

I am also in the process of finishing a book based on my course that is a collection of in-class/at-home experiments that allow people to learn the science experientially. The book integrates with STEM curriculum and covers topics of interest to people in the visual arts, photography, and cinematography. Subjects in the book include color theory, optics, human vision, photometry, colorimetry, sensitometry, camera sensor performance explained through topics in information theory, and even stereographic transmission (3D).

I am open to offering this course at other venues or educational institutions in its full form, or in a condensed form. You can reach me through my e-mail.

I also provide services in fact-checking and research. With over a decade of experience teaching and researching the foundational sciences in the photographic arts, I am in a unique position to identify important claims and judge their veracity. I have a sizable personal library of important and rare books in the physical, visual, and photographic arts as well as access to a wide body of international research through my academic affiliation.
