Physics graduate turned filmmaker. (Yes, I went from analyzing atoms to analyzing lighting setups—wild, I know.) Now I’m a cinematographer, filmmaker, and photographer based in Canberra.
What I do?
I make visuals that feel alive. Films, photos, music videos, or fashion shoots—I love creating stories you can feel.
What’s my vibe?
Highlights:
What’s it like working with me?
Fast-paced, creative, and straight to the point. I work hard, I laugh harder, and I always show up with an idea (or five).

What’s my vibe?
- Bold. Cinematic. Always chasing good light.
- A little dramatic. But no over-complicated fluff.
- Editing faster than your playlist can catch up. (But take time to sync thoughts and sit down to it)
Highlights:
- My first solo documentary, Connect (2023), won six awards (including Best Cinematography—thank you!) and was officially selected for eight film festivals (success rate 33% on Film Freeway to have some context). It’s proof that first projects don’t have to be disasters.
- Shot music videos, like one for Glitoris that scored a Highly Commended award at Canberra Short Film Festival.
- I love working with bold brands, independent creatives, and anyone with a wild idea that needs to come to life.

Connect (2023)
A heartfelt documentary shot in just 10 days. This award-winning film takes you on an intimate Ann-Marie's journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the pursuit of belonging in a world of labels.
And yes I'm from Siberia and I love it. I love skiing, snowboarding, snow, and cold and terribly miss the "true winter".
