As a cameraman, I worked on the monthly program "Business Vector," which focused on various industries. Each episode covered three companies within the same industry, providing an overview and analysis. During my time on the show, I had the opportunity to film a wide range of businesses, including factories, restaurants, tourism companies, farms, printing houses, publishers, shipyards, construction companies, and more.

I gave a lecture in Murmansk as part of a workshop designed to enhance the skills and creativity of videographers. On the first day, we reviewed the rules of composition and completed individual tasks. The second day focused on using equipment such as gimbals, sliders, and tripods, with tasks assigned to teams. On the final day, we divided into several groups to film different parts of a story we created, and later combined all parts into a presentation that was displayed on a big screen for friends and sponsors.

The project was a documentary about The White Sea Biological Station. It was a comprehensive and lengthy undertaking, with my task being to capture the beauty and essence of the biological station and the White Sea. We visited the location 8 times throughout the year, experiencing all the different seasons and conditions of the station and its surrounding environment.

I worked on a documentary about the Kola nuclear power plant in the Murmansk region as a cameraman and technician supporter.
