Hi, I’m Dmitrii Kuvaldin, a award-winning videographer and cinematographer with over 17 years of experience across television, documentary, and commercial production. I specialize in aerial videography (drone), gimbal/steadicam operation, and field production in dynamic and high-pressure environments. I’m driven by telling authentic human stories through cinematic visuals, whether in a bustling newsroom, on a remote set, or in challenging environments. I’ve covered stories from conflict zones to cultural features, collaborating with teams from diverse backgrounds and delivering compelling footage under tight deadlines. I’m proficient across the production pipeline—from on-site lighting and sound to editing in Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve—and I enjoy bringing together technical skill and creative storytelling to create impactful work.
