Hello, I’m Elena Bazu.
Solo filmmaker & photographer based in London, UK.
I make short, documentary-style films for design-led brands, artists, and interiors who value both visual and storytelling.
— Artists and makers
— Historic homes and characterful interiors
— Independent businesses, farmers, and the people behind them
I handle the entire process — from concept and direction through filming, sound recording, editing and colour grading. I work solo and prefer intimate setups, minimal staging, natural light and an unhurried pace.
Also I can do photography during the day, to provide still images for socials and the website, on the same day as filming.
Based in London, filming across the UK.

— House&Garden (Condé Nast)

Special project for Edward Bulmer in collaboration with Chatsworth House. Coming soon!
‘Queen Anne house in Hampstead, the conversation started 20 years ago and simply never stopped. It has been a dialogue not only between decorator Emma Burns and her clients, but between the three of them and this historic house, built in 1709’.
‘In a farmhouse on the edge of Dartmoor, Instagram sensation Callie Coles and her husband Toby live a life of ‘merry bedlam’, bringing up their three sons surrounded by the animals they love’.
‘Art and life are as one in the Berwick-upon-Tweed home of artists Brita Granström and Mick Manning, where their shared creative energy pervades every room’.
