Adam Holender (born 13 November 1937) is a Polish cinematographer, best known for his work on Midnight Cowboy.
He was born 13 November 1937 in Kraków, Poland, the son of a judge.[1] In 1939, he and his family were deported to a Siberian labor camp, and not allowed to return to Kraków until 1947.[2]
Holender studied architecture before enrolling at PWSFTviT in Łódź, from where he graduated in 1964.[2]
Midnight Cowboy was Holender's first cinematography assignment: he was recommended to director John Schlesinger by Holender's childhood friend, filmmaker Roman Polanski.[3] According to Schlesinger his inspiration to make the movie came from the 1967 Yugoslav film When I Am Dead and Gone by a Serbian director Živojin Pavlović.[4]
