About me

After studying cinematography for 5 years in Kiev I completed an MA course at the National Film and Television School in the UK. I tell stories using lighting, composition, and colour. I choreograph camera movement in collaboration with action, space and rhythm and make each image contain an intrigue, a riddle, evoking emotion and connecting them to the story. I am a strong believer that every story requires different styles and approaches which I like to develop with a director and production designer, leaving some space for improvisation and play, bringing good energy into the project and diving deeply into it. I am fascinated by light, people, art, movement and real life. Open and bold, observant, enthusiastic and exciting.
