ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm a London-based cinematographer who travels a lot for work. I grew up in Russia and lived in Sweden for six years, so a lot of my close friends live in different countries.
Post-pandemic I'm trying to catch up with them in spontaneous places in Europe and CS is a helpful tool along the way.

I work in film and TV and you can see my work here patarakina.com or on instagram @patarakina
