About

My name is Alexander Karpenko. I am a cinematographer based in New York. 

I have been in love with images and motion pictures for as long as I can remember. I have been doing photography and video work professionally since 2014. 

In my work I take an individual and unique approach to each project I take on combining differences in styles colors and themes.

I am confident in the use of editing platforms like Adobe Suite, Final Cut Pro X, and DaVinci Resolve. I am adept at video editing, camera operating, leading and taking charge where it’s appropriate, giving directions, management, professionalism, and communication with the creative team.  

I am punctual, and have a great sense of time. Keeping things on schedule is an important part of production.  

I have an understanding of exposure, color, lighting, and technical skills. 

Lighting is one of my passions, and I think it’s very important to know and be adept at many skills and moods of lighting. 

I am good at operating many cameras as well as making sure the camera runs smoothly. 

I come from an engineering background, which provides me the skill to be good at the technical aspect of cinematography.
