About me
Some may call it nosiness, I call it curiosity. I like to observe - situations and people. Stories are my passion. I'm a creative video producer, filmmaker and photographer. I love creating visual content, tell stories through photography and video and use that to create a connection with others. Over the past 12 years, I've been working in various creative fields with a range of different responsibilities and tasks. My professional background includes "doing everything" at a small TV station, to camera work, video editing, motion design and animation and covering almost every aspect of video production.
Projects
  • Documenting refugee education in Greece
    Documenting refugee education in GreeceIn September 2018 I went to Greece to create a documentary about "Project Hope 4 Kids". The organisation offers education to refugee children, whose families arrived in Greece after fleeing their home countries, thanks to the support from sponsors such as INTO Giving. With the help of qualified teachers and volunteers, PH4K aims to close the education gap for the children as well as offer them stabilty and structure in this transitional period of their life while waiting to be granted asylum in
  • A day in the life of an international student
    A day in the life of an international studentThis video project started in late 2016, where the objective was to show what the life of an international student in the UK and US looks like. To move away from a typical talking heads video or following someone around for 24hours, the idea was to script a story based on what the student would tell us their days looked like. We then captured parts of their day and created an inspiring and engaging series of videos to highlight different university pathways, courses, cities and nationalities.
  • long portrait
    long portraitA long portrait is an extended version of a portrait, lasting way more than a fracture of a second and is intended to show more of the true person behind the face itself. The intention behind the long portraits is to strip away the facade we want our surroundings to see. Standing in front of a camera, after a few seconds a face will inevitably relax and show micro expressions that can easily be hidden in the fleeting moment of a photograph. My long portraits are more than just simple portraits.
  • culture shock - stories from 5 continents
    culture shock - stories from 5 continentsThe idea behind this video was to explain culture shock, how it feels to international students and how to cope with it.

  • Enigma Quest, young entrepreneurs in London
    Enigma Quest, young entrepreneurs in LondonNargiza and Dmitri met as international students at INTO University of East Anglia. Fast forward a few years, both graduated, got married and opened an escape room business in London.
