I’m Emiliano Abedini, an award-winning director and cinematographer specializing in video production, photography, and drone services throughout Chicago. I founded this practice on a belief that exceptional visual storytelling requires both technical mastery and genuine creative vision—and that every project deserves the same level of directorial attention, regardless of size.
Director-Led Creative Vision
I approach every project as a director, not just an operator. This means considering narrative flow, emotional resonance, pacing, and visual composition from the first consultation through final delivery. Whether I’m documenting a wedding, creating a promotional video for a Chicago business, or capturing aerial footage of a construction site, I bring the same thoughtful creative direction that ensures your story is told with clarity and impact.
My background spans documentary filmmaking, commercial production, and event coverage across diverse industries. This breadth of experience allows me to adapt my approach to your unique needs while maintaining the artistic excellence and technical precision that defines my work.
What Sets Me Apart
Technical Excellence: I invest in professional cinema cameras, lenses, stabilization systems, lighting equipment, and FAA-certified drones to ensure every project meets the highest production standards.
Local Expertise: Years of working throughout Chicago and Chicagoland have given me intimate knowledge of local venues, neighborhoods, lighting conditions, and production logistics that make every shoot more efficient and results more compelling.
Efficient Workflow: Streamlined production processes and organized post-production systems mean you receive polished final deliverables without unnecessary delays, all while maintaining meticulous attention to quality.
Personalized Service: You work directly with me from consultation through delivery. No junior teams, no outsourced editing—just consistent, dedicated attention to your project’s success.
Proven Results: My portfolio demonstrates consistent excellence across wedding films, corporate videos, promotional content, real estate photography, and aerial cinematography for clients throughout Chicagoland.
Experience That Delivers Results
With years of experience directing video productions and photography sessions across Chicago, I’ve developed expertise across multiple specializations including cinematic wedding videography, corporate and promotional video production, documentary filmmaking, professional photography (events, portraits, real estate, brand content), and FAA Part 107 certified drone operations.
I’ve created visual content for small businesses, nonprofits, established corporations, real estate professionals, and individuals celebrating life’s most important moments. Each project adds to my understanding of how to translate creative vision into tangible results—whether that’s a wedding film that brings couples to tears, promotional content that drives conversions, or real estate imagery that accelerates sales.
My commitment to ongoing education and investment in emerging technologies ensures clients benefit from cutting-edge techniques while receiving the timeless storytelling that makes visual content resonate across years.
More Than Just Beautiful Images
Beautiful imagery matters, but it’s not enough. Every frame I capture serves a purpose—telling your story, conveying emotion, building your brand, or preserving memories that last generations. This intention separates documentation from storytelling, and snapshots from art.
I believe in authentic moments over forced poses, natural light over heavy-handed manipulation, and genuine connection over transactional relationships. When you work with me, you’re partnering with someone genuinely invested in your success and committed to delivering work that exceeds your expectations.
Whether I’m filming a wedding ceremony, directing a corporate testimonial, or capturing aerial footage of a construction project, I approach every project with the same respect, creativity, and dedication to excellence.
