Bio

cinematographer

 

After completing a bachelor’s degree in cinematography, I began my career as a camera operator.

Driven by a deep curiosity for light, I then transitioned into the lighting department, working as a lighting technician and gaffer for nearly seven years.

During this time, I had the chance to collaborate with inspiring gaffers and cinematographers, from whom I gained invaluable experience, confidence, and a strong sense of storytelling through light.

In parallel, I spent several months in Los Angeles attending cinematography classes with renowned cinematographers such as Russell Carpenter (Titanic, Avatar) and James Laxton (Moonlight).

Today, life itself remains my most important source of study and inspiration.

Cinematography has taught me that simplicity is often where beauty truly lies.
