Who's Behind the Camera

About

Born and raised in Transylvania, Romania, now based in Tokyo, Japan. I hold a degree in Cinematography and work as a camera assistant and cinematographer, photographer, and video editor.

My focus is on music videos and film/TV work — storytelling projects where camera and color become part of the narrative. I also work on commercial productions alongside this. Outside of set, I shoot and edit personal photography, drawn especially to color and light. I speak Romanian and English fluently, and Japanese conversationally.

My work says more about me than words can — take a look through the video and photo sections below.
