About

I’m Doyin M Ajaka, a cinematographer and video editor with over a decade of experience directing, shooting, and editing music videos, commercials, and social reels. I’ve worked with artists and organisations including Davido, Wizkid, IRV Label, AGS, and the British Council—handling everything from camera operation and lighting to location scouting and post-production.

I’m comfortable running shoots end-to-end, including proposal support, shot layout planning, data transfer, VFX/green-screen compositing, and finishing with colour grading. From drone work and set-up to non-linear editing in Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and 3D compositing basics in Cinema 4D, I focus on delivering polished results on tight timelines with strong attention to detail.
