I am Ivan Charalambous (b. 1984), from Cyprus. I studied documentary filmmaking in Kenya, Italy and Poland with a European Commission scholarship, Multimedia Production at the University of Nicosia and I took seminars on cinematography, sound recording and mixing, storyboarding and more. I have worked as a freelancer for most of my life, starting as a stage and light designer for theatre productions and producer and art director for commercials. I transitioned to documentary and news in 2010 and since then I had the opportunity to work with many big agencies and organisations, such as UN, PBS, Al Jazeera, ARD, BBC and many more. Since 2018 I have been a founding member of Strawberry Heights Films in Cyprus, offering video production services for news networks and corporate clients worldwide. I am offering full services for documentary, commercial and news productions, from concept to delivery, for up to 4K productions, including aerial footage.

I am a Zambian born raised in Cyprus. From my beginning in music production the leap to Photography & Cinematography came naturally as i first became a virtuoso in Post Production mainly in editing, colouring digital sound and image mastering. My need to express through sound and images is the driving force that pushes me to new fields and heights. Through cadetship in various industries (Television, Audio Studios, Film Studios), i have honed my skill set in traditional set techniques and combined it with my wide knowledge of many audio visual fields both practical and technical then fused it with modernist art sensibilities. This has allowed me to cultivate and engage in a wide range of story telling tools. Im always learning, constantly improving and cannot rest easy until i have manifested my passion for stunning visuals and sound into reality.
