Gucci "Second Summer of Love NYC"

We are thrilled to welcome emerging cinematographer IGOR SMITKA to the Vision roster, who draws major inspiration from his background in Fine Arts, particularly photography. In his work, he strives to achieve a balance between authentic storytelling and a timeless visual language.

He loves to create an everlasting aesthetic for his audience which can’t be assigned to a certain period of time. Short films that Igor lensed were screened at many international film festivals and won multiple awards.

In his personal projects, he likes to use film as a tool of empowerment that gives him the possibility to tell the stories of interesting characters or minorities who otherwise would remain unheard/unseen. 

SMITKA has since worked on some stunning and highly creative projects with director Adam Coska Keller of Stink. Igor initially met with Adam when the director was one half of duo with Evelyn Bencicova - but so far only in Photography field. Adam was at the time experimenting with video but after they met things organically transitioned into the pair collaborating mostly on video projects. This became the start of the most extraordinary and exciting collaboration!. It was thanks to their personal projects and short films that the offers became flooding in - the first bigger one being Gucci sneaker campaign in 2016. 

The eagerly awaited "Rite Of Spring" shot at the Royal Opera House has also just been released. This is a powerful and graceful Nowness film which features and extraordinary group of dancers with Down's Syndrome who have captured the revolutionary spirit of the riot-inciting ballet. Another Smitka-Keller treat!
