CS is an amazing platform to meet people with different backgrounds and life stories. Let’s connect!

I'm a guy with a computer science degree and creative way of life. I'm a cinematographer, producer, photographer and a drone pilot. Had experience in shooting music videos, documentaries, fashion videos, commercials and short films.

Before my filmmaking carreer I worked as a documentary photographer, producer of a local media project The Main. Chelyabinsk in my hometown. When I've bought Canon 7d in 2011, I started my filmmaking career.

Had interesting experience of working as a DP (Director of photography) for non-budget feature film 'Desyatka' by Vladimir Kozlov, which had won 3rd prize in debut festival 'Spirit of Fire' in Russia.
