About
Hi!
My name is Venji. I'm a cinematographer, gaffer, and director, born and raised in Moscow, Russia, now based in Brooklyn. I've worked across music videos, narrative, commercial, and videography projects.
While I have a strong aesthetic sense, I most pride myself on being stylistically flexible. I tune myself to the project's frequency and stay there.
Shooting means putting yourself in a state of intense ignorance and curiosity, while still seeing a step ahead. That's why I plan and prep with about 95% thoroughness, leaving the last 5% for chance and the unexpected: the moments worth catching.
I'd like to keep my eye out for those moments with you, on whatever project feels right.
Favorite Musicians: The Field, Daft Punk, Sophie, Death’s Dynamic Shroud, Bjork, David Bowie
