   For over 11 years, I have led Bakus Studio Inc, a NYC based photography and cinematography business. Starting as a freelance photographer, I built a successful studio that has executed projects ranging from $5K to $200K, working with top-tier clients like L’Oréal, Brooks Brothers, Nautica, Victoria’s Secret, and Reebok. I have art-directed numerous shoots, developing creative concepts from scratch and pitching them to clients, ensuring both artistic vision and commercial success.My expertise spans highly technical photography, cinematography, and director of photography roles, adapting dynamically to client needs. I pride myself on an unparalleled mastery of photographic equipment—there isn’t a camera I can’t operate. Whether managing small-scale productions or large commercial campaigns, I bring a balance of technical precision, artistic vision, and strategic execution to every project.
