Topic: Who is behind camera ?
What does a cinematographer do and what does it mean to be called cinematographer? Is it only focusing on the technical part of shooting or is it something more behind it? How to work with different directors and translate into image their & your vision? I will tell you about my years of experience and how I started to work in the industry. I will show some of my works and will talk about them too. From the pre-production (recce/developing ideas/pre-lighting) to real set experience and post-production. I will show different variations of works: narrative, music videos, commercial and documentary. Each of the work will be focused on different cinematography topics, which would include shooting with studio/natural lighting; with steadicam & trinity operator; shooting on film and shooting “coming out of your comfort zone and be open for new challenges”. I will be also happy to hear your questions regarding cinematography.
