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.
