— A practice in light —

A practice in light, motion
and the time between frames.

Vlad Prok is a Director of Photography based in Oporto, working internationally since 2018.

With a style influenced by cinema and documentary, the practice is in translating brands, artists and moments into images that can outlive a campaign — a picture that holds.

Eight years across music videos, commercials, documentary, brand films and institutional work — built between oporto, lisbon, london, new york, miami, roma, milano, dubai, doha, riyadh, kiev, tokyo, kyoto and osaka. The 31 pictures presented here are a curated cut from the archive.

The work is done with a keen eye for a perfectly composed shot, deliberate light, elegant music and patient editing. Equipped for any scale — from intimate documentary to full commercial production — with cinema-grade camera, lighting and audio, supported by a trusted crew when the picture demands it. Whatever the rig, the camera is there to dissolve into the moment.
