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.

House tour
Brand film

I do the whole process: from the idea and direction to the edit and the final film. I can also 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 and beyond.

‘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’.
