ALEXEY ORLOV
I travel the world telling stories through the art of cinema, seeking out exciting and interesting people and perspectives. In the last seven years, I’ve accumulated a wealth of knowledge while filming, editing, producing and directing in the field. I use this knowledge to select the drones, stabilizers and cameras best suited for the job.
My passion is in automotive, surf and drone cinematography. I work solo and with a handful of trusted professionals, including documentary productions, commercial clients and feature films based in Los Angeles.
