Felix Schmilinsky

I am a Cinematographer living and working in London. I travel all around the world to shoot films, commercials, documentary and music videos.

Every new film calls for its own visual language. I am keen to explore all nuances together with a director to craft a distinct look.

Growing up in a small town in West Germany, a simple click-and-shoot film camera sparked a desire in me to capture precious moments. Years of documenting skateboarding on videotape and taking pictures of my friends eventually led me to filmmaking.

After learning the ropes in production offices for feature film and high-end commercials, I studied Cinematography at Bournemouth Film School and FAMU in Prague.

I have shot commercials for Nike, Volvo, Adidas, L’Oreal, Asics, Spotify, Vodafone among many others. My music videos include collaborations with artists such as Goldfrapp, The 1975, George Ezra and others.

I’m grateful for exciting collaborations and projects that take me around the world.
