Sasha is brilliant to work with. A few can achieve the intensity of her relationships with her characters and then she delivers pictures and images to match.

Sasha is amazing at access, gaining the trust of people from brain surgeons to new york drug dealers, and getting key moments of drama on camera. Her camerawork is really strong, and this combined with her relationships with contributors makes for great rushes with all the magic moments captured. Her work spans really accessible documentary series for C4 and ITV filmed in the UK, to hostile environment shoots in Afghanistan. Amazing person to have on board for a long-term access project. I’ve worked with her on four documentary series for C4, BBC and ITV as well as other projects.

She is good at handling fragile access and her camera skills and knowledge are first class.
