About me

I am an experienced Director of Photography and Camera Operator with a strong background in television, film, and live events. Until early 2024, I lived and worked in Ukraine, where I built a successful career with credits on major productions such as Hell's Kitchen, Master Chef, The Bachelor, and Ukraine's Got Talent.

I began my career in theatre lighting, which laid a strong foundation in visual storytelling. Since 2009, I've worked as a DOP on a wide range of projects — from TV series and documentaries to sports, music awards, and commercial promos.

I am passionate about creating cinematic visuals, highly skilled with a variety of camera systems (Sony, RED, Blackmagic, Panasonic), and confident in both studio and field environments. I thrive in creative teams and bring professionalism, flexibility, and a keen eye for detail to every project.

Now based in the UK, I am eager to bring my international experience and creative energy to new productions across the UK and beyond.
