Signed up on Contra a while ago. Zero views for months.
This week I uploaded some of my works. 🔥
I’m Ilia, a video editor, colorist and cinematographer with 20+ years in the field. Editorial work for Vogue, Esquire, The Rake, SHOWstudio. Based in Montenegro, shooting across the Balkans and UAE. Fashion films, brand campaigns, music videos.
More work going up this week. If you’ve been here longer, what else helped your profile get seen?
Congrats on getting the portfolio up, Ilia! 🎬 That Vogue and Esquire-level editorial polish on the fashion film cuts is exactly what makes a reel pop 🔥
