About me

Jerzy is a passionate filmmaker and works mainly as a lighting cameraman/DoP or as a Gaffer. He strives for the best look on every project, whatever equipment is being used. With a strong technical knowledge and a keen eye for detail, he gets the vision from the script to the screen. He has done work for Vans, YouTube, Times Magazine, Monster Energy, Nasty Gal, Immersive Cult, Cisco, LinkedIn, Jaeger, Hearst Magazine, Superga to mention a few.

He studied filmmaking at the Icelandic Film School where he specialised in cinematography and got training in multi camera productions. He has a good knowledge of filming, lighting, handheld, ENG and digital cinema cameras, rigs, audio recording and much more. He's reliable, efficient, organised, honest, patient, but also equipped with a sense of humour.

He's used to pressure, dealing with clients and traveling internationally for shoots. He has his own vehicle, full and clean driving license, kit insurance and a public liability insurance. Jerzy was born in Poland, lived in Iceland most of his life and has been based in London since 2012.

So if you would like him to capture beautiful visuals for you or to help you with a project then get in touch!
Referees:
I recently worked with Jerzy on a short film and could not be more pleased with how he captured the shots. He is an absolute professional and a great person as well!

Zaim Oneeb, Director “The Quiet Girl”


I can highly recommend Jerzy as a reliable and competent cameraman and he's a very good bloke to have on the team Tony Briggs

Tony Briggs, Director


Jerzy is a great candidate for his non-stop, hard-working attitude. Always a great laugh on set with him around and he's always punctual. Couldn't have picked a more dedicated crew member.

Kate Connerty, Writer/Director


Jerzy was a very proficient DOP on our latest shoot for a TV comedy pilot called Unleashed. He came well prepared with shot list and put thought into the days shoot. He was very adaptable and easy to get along with. Cast and crew enjoyed working with him, which included children. And finally the footage was very good, just what I wanted. I would like to work with him again and recommend him to others.

Jane Sanger, Director - Lumino Films


I have worked with Jerzy on numerous projects ranging from commercials to documentaries and short films. Jerzy is a hard working individual, a must have crew member for any production who take their work seriously. Can’t praise this individual enough.
