As of yet, i can‘t boast about decades of experience and plentiful industry awards, that’s where you, dear Partner, and your future project come in.
What i can bring to the set is reliability, a calm and focused presence and a permanent desire to learn by doing.
I started on the film financing side of the business back in mid-2010s, representing clients who wanted to invest in movies. As it often happens, they lost some money, but me, i gained an understanding and love of filmmaking. At a point later in my life i decided to engage in the process myself, specializing in those aspects of production, that have to do with the actual visual experience, the foremost being lighting and cinematography, Due to my background i am very budget conscious when it comes to production. My approach is to use all available ressources to achieve the highest visual impact and production value.
I am lucky to be able to afford working with independent and student filmmakers, pledging my work and my sizeable equipment inventory to the projects without looking for immediate profits.
As a cinematographer i am also my own gaffer, keeping headcounts lower.
My plan is to move forward as a team and a network of filmmakers like you and me, starting where we are now and steadily bringing our art out to the audiences.
