ALEXANDER SAKULIN
Photographer and Creative Director
Get some insights about my typical Workflow. What I usually do and How I do it.
CORE COMPETENCIES
My professional growth was strongly influenced by work on Advertising, Branding and Video Production projects I participated in and learned from. That’s why my main expertise is Commercial: nice Ads and banners. Almost a half of my time I spend on Portraits and work with Celebriries. I’ve developed advanced technology of creating awesome E‑commerce content for the Fashion Industry, produce moving digital banners, motion graphics, eye-catching videos based on photography or short video footages. I also apply original and smart tricks of using content in digital ecosystem.
CREATIVE APPROACH
I always try to get deep in understanding of current Task and to anticipate all possible troubles early on pre-production stage. It also helps me to clearly visualize upcoming work and to plan it carefully, think over backup scenarios. Therefore I can successfully manage some functions of an Art Director, according to client’s marketing goals. Due to my Advertising background I pay a lot of attention to Design and whole look of the final image in general. That’s why I usually careful to the details. But I also like to have fun, encourage perspective experiments and unexpected ideas. Especially if it goes well)
