Most shoots do not need it, and most of our conference and trade show work is booked for other reasons. These four kinds of job are where clients ask for Violetta by name, and each one has a film behind it.
1
Getting ready and backstage
Hotel rooms, dressing rooms and make-up chairs, where the person on camera is still getting changed and has ten minutes. One quiet operator in the room is easier to forget than a crew.
Film: Priyanka Chopra for Max Factor, filmed getting ready in her room at the Corinthia.
2
Personal stories
Interviews about health, identity or the body, where the subject has to trust whoever is holding the camera before they say anything worth keeping.
Film: In Bloom for Blooming Haus, with the artist Violeta Sofia on living with vitiligo.
3
Women-led brands
Labels and founders who want the team behind the camera to look like the team in front of it, for launches, campaigns and social content.
Film: the Nicky Hilton collection launch for Rebecca Vallance at Gaia in Mayfair.
4
People who hate being filmed
Founders, first-timers and talent who freeze when a camera points at them. Fewer people in the room and a calm person behind the lens get them talking sooner.
Film: Heineken with Margot Lee, a scripted 60 seconds filmed in one morning.
For a full crew of women, say so in the brief. We will tell you on the same day whether we can staff it for your date, rather than promise it and swap someone in later. Her full list of roles and credits is on Violetta's profile.
Her camera work
Five films, shot by Violetta
Fashion, beauty and brand work, all vertical, all with Violetta on camera. The line under each film says which roles she held, because a camera credit and a producer credit are different jobs.
Heineken x Margot Lee
Camera, edit, colour
Filmed from 11am, finished cut with Margot at 1:34am. Heineken co-posted it.
Priyanka Chopra x Max Factor
Camera, edit, colour
Seven hours of waiting, under ten minutes with her. Raw footage with the client two hours later.
Rebecca Vallance and Nicky Hilton
Producer, camera, edit, colour
A cocktail launch in Mayfair, shot to a storyboard of eight sequences.
John Richmond show
Camera, colour
A dark, packed runway with every look walked once. Live on the client's page by 9am.
Max Factor campaign
Camera, edit, colour
Two days on set, covering the make-up and preparation around the main shoot.
Longer work
A studio interview and a live session
Two jobs at opposite ends of the scale. One gave the subject time to talk; the other gave the camera one take. Both had Violetta on camera.
Personal story
Blooming Haus: In Bloom
An episode of the Blooming Haus YouTube series, produced by Creators London with We Stream on camera and lighting, about people breaking ground in art, design and fashion. The artist and photographer Violeta Sofia talks about her Hand Masters self-portraits, which document her vitiligo and how she came to accept it.
Filmed at the ME London hotel
Seven and a half minutes, cut around her own words
Violetta's role: camera operator
Live music
Bambie Thug at BBC Maida Vale
Two songs in one studio on Christmas Eve 2022, with no time to set up and one operator on one camera. A live session is a single take, so whatever the camera missed is gone. Violetta has filmed Bambie Thug since 2021, through the run that ended at Eurovision.

Part of a series of six released Bambie Thug videos

How it works
From message to finished film
Three steps, and the first one is the only one that needs you to write anything down.
Send the brief
The date, the place, who is on camera, what the film is for and when you need it. If the shoot needs a woman on camera, or women only in the room, put that in too.
Get a quote in 24 hours
A fixed price from the rate card and a straight answer on whether Violetta is free. If the timeline or budget does not work, we say so rather than take the booking.
Shoot and delivery
Violetta films on the day, with a second operator if the brief needs one. Edited video comes back within 7 working days with two rounds of revisions.
