BIO

A cinematographer who sees cinema in every frame.

*“Some things are trendy. Others are timeless.”* That’s why Misha gravitates toward minimalism and finds inspiration in film. He’s fascinated not just by the story, but by the mechanics behind each shot — camera movement, lighting, composition, and how they shape emotion. For him, a frame isn’t just an image — it’s a language that tells stories.

His love for different genres is another driving force:

“I’m into radically different styles of art at the same time.”

This allows him to escape the trap of being boxed into one aesthetic — and makes his work dynamic, versatile, and always evolving.

Misha’s path is just as genre-blending as his creative vision.

From working as a DP on indie films — where some shoots ran over 24 hours, budgets were laughable, and he had to haul lighting gear while managing logistics — to dreaming of festivals and fame. Spoiler: the film never made it out. But he *did* learn how to truly shoot under pressure.

Then came the move to Bali, where filmmaking turned into a lifestyle. A first film camera, international productions, and major projects marked a new chapter — and the beginning of his journey with SBTA. And we’re just getting started.
