Hi. My name is Kuba.* I’m a self-taught cinematographer.**
I cut my teeth (and shins, and fingers...) working in the camera, grip, and electric departments alongside world-class filmmakers and craftspeople. My experiences on set and in life have led me towards an unwavering love of the collaborative process. I've photographed spots for a litany of recognizable brands (Nike, Jordan, New Balance, FanDuel, Coach, Arizona Iced Tea). A number of the films I’ve shot have played in festivals across the U.S. (Slamdance, Atlanta, Outfest, NewFest). My dream is to tell meaningful stories alongside kindred collaborators for as long as I humanly can.
*My legal name is Jacob, but everyone calls me “Kuba" ...which is a Polish nickname that my Polish parents have called me since birth.
**AKA I didn’t go to film school....... but, I've read, like, a lot of American Cinematographer and watched a lot of Criterion Collection bonus features.....
