A different perspective on extraordinary yachts.
My name is Slava. I'm a yacht filmmaker, based between France and Estonia.
I spent the last few years on the production side at Northrop & Johnson, running shoots, managing crews and filming most of them myself. Working closely with David Seal of the Yachts for Sale YouTube channel, I've filmed over 100 yachts and more than 300 productions in total.
I film, fly the drone and edit myself. When a project needs more, I put together a team from a network of photographers, videographers and other creatives I've worked with over the years.
I know the industry from the inside: what brokers need, how a shoot runs on a working yacht, and how to show her on screen.
"A good yacht film should make you want to step aboard."
Tell me about the boat.
Whether it's a brokerage film, a launch, or an idea you'd like to discuss, I'd love to hear from you.
Let's create something exceptional together.
