Ilya is a 20 year old creator who was born in Russia and raised in East Tennessee. Ilya is a videographer and editor who developed a love for videography at a very young age. He got his start on YouTube making his own videos and building a following through these posts. Ilya has always had a thirst for learning and improving his craft. He would constantly watch other filmmakers and content creators who were blowing up online and try to replicate what they were doing. He always looked at people who were better than he was at the time to push himself to continue to grow and learn new techniques. After developing a passion to shoot and edit YouTube videos at a young age, he quickly got into other avenues in the creative space such as photography. In no time he was constantly working on passion projects and growing his presence online as a creative. At the end of the day the goal of all filmmakers and editors is to make their audience feel something. Ilya believes that if he can make whoever is watching his work be fully engaged with it and feel a certain type of emotion by the way it’s put together, he has achieved his goal as a storyteller. He currently works with the collective FourShadow who service many different industries, entrepreneurs, and influencers inside the creative space. Ilya and FourShadow are planning to expand to more industries and build an even bigger audience in the upcoming year with big things to come.
