Hey — I’m Karol.

Camera Operator / Cinematographer and licensed drone pilot across commercials, documentaries, music, and sport. Based between London and Košice; happy anywhere the story goes.

With a background in post and over 5 years behind the lens, I bring technical precision, creative instinct, and calm, clear communication. I care about the details from light and movement to pacing and rhythm and most of all, how a story feels.

My journey into filmmaking began long before I ever called it a career. As a kid, I “borrowed” my mum’s handycam and cheekily taped over her videos a rebellious start, but it was my first spark of curiosity with the moving image. In my teens, I started editing gameplay videos, blending music and visuals to tell stories and evoke emotion. That instinct to connect image with feeling never left me.

Before diving fully into filmmaking, I worked as a frontend web developer, drawn to design, motion, and user experience. But at 26, I pivoted. Feeling a little late to the game, I made it my mission to catch up filming down the beach after work, watching hours of YouTube tutorials during lunch breaks, and absorbing every bit of knowledge I could. That hunger to learn hasn't stopped. Whether it’s shadowing fellow crew on set or experimenting with new gear, I see each project as a chance to evolve.
