I have many years of experience in camera work, editing, and visual storytelling, ranging from live productions and television reports to online and social media projects. My focus is always on composition, lighting, and narrative flow — crafting authentic and emotionally engaging images that bring stories to life. Through my work in ENG, multi-camera, and outdoor productions, I’m used to performing under pressure and adapting quickly to different environments. In addition to my on-set experience, I also bring strong skills in post-production, audio, and digital workflows, including the use of modern AI-based and Adobe tools.
