About Me


My name is Yusif and I am an independent filmmaker and photographer. I come all the way from Baku, Azerbaijan. I am based in Washington, D.C.

From the very early days, I have always been interested in cinematography, photography and videography. The passion for movies and visual storytelling was inspired and instilled in me by my family’s own interest in film, namely my mother’s. I absolutely love this medium because it allows one to view a certain story from another person’s perspective. In my mind, cinematography is a universal language – every single detail, from the angles of the shots, lighting, sound effects, scene atmosphere, etc., join in together, just like words of a language join to form a sentence and ultimately tell a story.

I have extensive experience in digital marketing which sparked my passion for filmmaking – something that I was interested in from the very early ages. I offer services in filming, editing, post-production, digital design, photography, social media management and marketing.
