About

        Vitaly Kazanin is a Director of Photography and fashion cinematographer based in Milan, specializing in luxury fashion films, show films and beauty campaigns for international brands across Italy and Europe. With a background rooted in Russian visual storytelling and Italian design sensibility, Vitaly brings a unique blend of technical precision and narrative depth to every project.

His work spans fashion campaigns, editorial narratives, runway documentation and brand-driven art films, collaborating with directors, creative teams and production companies to shape the visual language from pre-production through final color grade. Projects are built around cinematic lighting, controlled contrast and precise exposure discipline, ensuring high-impact imagery optimized for digital platforms, social formats and long-form edits.

Depending on the project, Vitaly shoots on cinema cameras including RED (RED Komodo), ARRI systems and Sony cinema lines, selecting lenses, filtration and lighting to match the narrative intent, brand identity and final delivery requirements. Each production benefits from a repeatable workflow, clean on-set execution and efficient post-production pipeline, supporting consistent results across campaigns, editorials and show films.
