bio

I'm Anastasiia Gavrilova, a Berlin-based cinematographer and artist. Trained in architecture and fine arts, I approach cinematography through space, light, and emotional precision — working across fiction, documentary, and commercial projects. I develop a visual language that is both intuitive and controlled, translating the emotional core of a scene into images. Moving between intimacy and distance, depending on what the story needs. My images carry weight, tension, and meaning.
