About Me

Hey there, I’m Sergej Krivenko, the owner of It’s a Thing Imagery.

I’m a cinematographer and freelance photographer/videographer. I’ve been shooting since 2008 and in business since 2018, and have been developing my skills in becoming a director of photography for the last few years, too. My primary cameras are: RED Komodo-X and two Canon R5 IIs. I’m also a 2nd Assistant Cameraperson for ICG 669, so you can trust the visuals I deliver are of a professional and cinematic quality.

Shooting wasn’t my entire life, though, naturally. I used to serve in the Royal Canadian Navy as a Naval Communicator for 9 years, but was medically released due to my PTSD from a fire onboard HMCS Protecteur back in 2014. I got to sail around the Pacific a few times and have met some lifelong friends, but it ultimately wasn’t the career for me after that event. Film found its way to my heart in the midst of my release and felt like a natural step into a new career. I attended Vancouver Film School from 2021-2022 and have been working on my life in film ever since.

I greatly enjoy snowboarding, surfing, spearfishing, bouldering, hiking, and making new friends along the way. I’m 7 years sober, have a passion for life, top-quality imagery, and can’t stop punning — mostly because my friends allow it, I’m sure.

I believe in the importance of collaboration to ensure every project I work on represents you — whether it’s your music, your brand, or your ideas. By hiring me to shoot for you, you’ll receive visuals that work as hard as you do!

I look forward to our collaboration together.

Cheers,

Sergej
