CINEMATOGRAPHER
PRODUCER
I come from a place where East meets West in the most unexpected ways - the Republic of Moldova, a small country with a rich cultural crossroads that continues to shape my creative lens.
My journey into cinematography began early, shaped by diverse studies across Europe and the privilege of being mentored by industry greats like Stefan Chiupek, Christian Berger, Vadim Yusov, and Rafi Pitts. These formative experiences laid the foundation for a visual language I continue to refine with every frame I shoot.
Whether it’s fiction films, TV series, documentaries, or experimental video, I love working across formats - each one expands my cinematic vocabulary, deepens my understanding of light, and offers new ways to explore visual storytelling.
A turning point in my career came when director Andrey A. Eshpay invited me to Moscow to shoot my feature debut, Russian Performance. Inspired by the work and life of Jackson Pollock, the film pushed me to develop a bold visual style and a unique relationship between the camera and the actor - an intuitive, free-flowing bond that has become central to my approach.
From there, the journey continued: more films, series, and documentaries followed - each collaboration pushing creative boundaries. My move to Bucharest opened a new chapter, working alongside Alecu Solomon on Tarzan’s Testicles, a thought-provoking documentary that visually explores the delicate boundary between humans and monkeys as a metaphor for aging.
I've been fortunate to collaborate with talented directors including Ioana Păun, Raluca R. Gorgos, Cristian Pascariu, Ion Aramă, and others - each one enriching my craft and perspective.
Since 2018, I’ve been a proud member of the European Film Academy, committed to growing within a community of storytellers who challenge, inspire, and elevate the art of cinema.
