About
I am a cinematographer, director, professor, camera operator, and video production professional with over 12 years of experience in the full-cycle film industry. Based in Los Angeles and originally from Russia, I draw inspiration from growing up in Post-Soviet Saint Petersburg and living in Miami. My passion lies in telling stories that empower and expand social consciousness on a global level.

I have executed over 250 projects, including campaigns for brands like PUMA, NETFLIX, and ADOBE, music videos for COMMON and ACTION BRONSON, and commercials for DIOR, VOGUE, PEPSI, GOOGLE, and DODGE. I have also worked on the gender-bending comedy short "FEMME" produced by Rachel Brosnahan and as second unit on HULU's "In and Of Itself." My work has garnered over 20 million views.

I am available for DP and directing work on a variety of projects, including music videos, feature and short narrative films, commercials, documentaries, dance, fashion, branded and corporate videos, live events, YouTube, social media videos, and more. I am based in Los Angeles but frequently travel to New York, Miami, and San Francisco. I am available for travel both domestically and internationally.

I possess a variety of skills, including cinematography, camera operation, directing, and editing using software such as Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, and Davinci Resolve. I am knowledgeable in a range of professional cameras and lighting equipment and own a full production equipment package. References are available upon request.

Arina possesses a unique talent for not only acknowledging and capitalizing on one's strengths but also determining a seamless pace for the photoshoot. I felt exceptionally at ease collaborating with her, as she not only endorsed my proposals but also proposed innovative concepts of her own in a prompt and courteous manner. Without a doubt, I would eagerly cooperate with her again.

Arina is a cinematographer who possesses immense passion and knowledge in her craft. She consistently refines her skills, avidly explores emerging technologies and generously imparts her expertise to budding filmmakers. Our acquaintance was borne out of a shoot we worked on six years ago, when I was still finding my feet as a camera assistant. Even during the chaos of the production, Arina graciously answered my numerous queries, walking me through the process and sharing pointers. Through the years, we have both experienced incredible career advancements. However, amidst her busy schedule crafting stunning projects and campaigns, Arina remains dedicated to supporting and mentoring aspiring individuals. Arina's contribution to any production is immeasurable. She is an invaluable addition to any team.

Throughout the years, I have collaborated with Arina on numerous projects, and I can attest that she consistently approaches her work with a positive attitude, exemplifying a team player who gives the project her all. Her accommodating nature and knack for problem-solving make her easy to work with, even under tense circumstances. Arina's services extend beyond those of a professional DP, as she genuinely cares about your vision and the team onset.
