About me

Diana Olifirova is a cinematographer from Ukraine. After studying cinematography for 5 years in Kiev she did an MA course at National Film and Television School.

She shot a lot of short films in Ukraine and London and keeps exploring and shooting all the time, experimenting and expanding her knowledge in visual storytelling and composition.

She likes to work in different genres and try new, she’s a strong believer that every story requires different styles and approaches which she likes
to develop precisely with a director, leaving some space for improvisation and play, bringing good energy into the project and diving deeply into it.
