Hey, I’m Louis

Photo by John Oliva

I am a professional cinematographer and photographer based in New York City. I enjoy a more candid style of photography especially at events, but I also love designing a beautiful portrait. And with film I specialize in narrative storytelling. Born in Russia, and brought to the city in my infancy, I am a New Yorker through and through. My love for creating beautiful images began the moment I got my first camera phone and laptop for editing, and the rest is history. I seek after the story within images with both photography and cinematography. So whether I’m far away capturing your engagement in secret or up close and personal telling you to strike a pose, my intent is to bring out what makes my subjects unique.

The beauty of our individuality as people, the magnificence of our natural world, and the impressive creations we have made throughout our history as humans are all of my main muses. Whether it’s when I’m traveling through China and taking in the intricacy of a Buddhist Temple, or I’m in Central Park taking pictures a couple will remember forever, or I’m driving across the country seeing the scars in the ground that make up the natural beauty of the planet. These images strike me when I see them, and I enjoy freezing the moment in time with a photo.

If you are looking for a photographer that can capture your essence as a person, or a cinematographer/editor with almost two decades of experience bringing stories to life, then I am the cameraman for you.
