About

Hi! I’m Ilia Petrov, a photographer and cinematographer, and I also do video editing. I’ve worked in television as a director, EVS operator, and editor, delivering stories for news, culture, and sports with a friendly, collaborative approach. I love crafting cinematic visuals and telling compelling stories through moving images.

Now based in Budva, Montenegro, I shoot beauty, fashion, and music videos for clients worldwide. I’ve collaborated with Ulyana Sergeenko, Vogue, Esquire, The Rake, Port Magazine, Snob, AdVita Charity, Edem Couture, Nurit Hen Dresses, and more, and I’m ready to bring cinematic storytelling to brands and campaigns from my new home in Montenegro.
