Nadezda Maksimenko, known as KALIBRI.
I’m a freelance videographer and filmmaker specializing in documentaries, films, commercials, and screen dance.
​
With a background in Film Studies from the University of Kent, Queen Mary University, and Goldsmiths, University of London, I’ve worked as Head of the Video Department at a digital marketing agency and on various film sets as part of the production crew.
​
My mission is to tell powerful stories that touch hearts and inspire change.

DANCE FILMS
Dance films are my favorite way to express myself, as they blend my passions for dance and cinematography. The fusion of movement, sound, and vision is, to me, the most powerful form of artistic expression.

COMMERCIALS
A great commercial isn’t just an ad—it’s a story that sticks. I love shaping visuals that feel effortless yet impactful, especially in beauty and fashion, where every detail matters. From bold concepts to sleek execution, I bring ideas to life with style and purpose.
Behind The Scenes






From the moment Nadezda interviewed for the videographer job at Qumin I was blown away by her sheer professionalism, enthusiasm and passion for creating outstanding video content. Although she had never been to China and didn't speak Chinese, she was hungry to learn about the people and culture and you could not tell that she was new to China. She learns incredibly quickly and never stops pushing herself to produce better and better outputs. From script to production to edit, you know her full heart is in the project. With her desire to learn she is not only open to feedback but invites it and thrives off it. I've seen her grow from strength to strength with every project. While she is a huge team player, Nadya is also very independent, needing no hand holding at all, in fact, I often didn't need to give much guidance at all, simply providing some ideas for clips/copy/content to be included in a video and saying "do your magic". Some of my favourite moments in the office were being presented with the first drafts of new projects, as there would always be something incredible / surprise nuggets in the videos. I could not recommend Nadya enough and know she has a bright future ahead of her.

MUSIC VIDEOS
I have a special place in my heart for music video production—after all, the sky’s the limit when it comes to creativity (and the budget... well, that's another story!). I produced, filmed, directed, and edited these works, pouring my heart into every frame.

I have had the pleasure or working with Nadya over the past 3 years. Energetic, creative and technically a fantastic videographer and filmmaker. From highly polished output to social media, her approach to each project is testament to how she understands the client, the product and the audience and always is the key stakeholder in the creative approach that produces the best output creatively and video and films that resonate with the intended audience. I would highly recommend her to take you on a positive, creative and collaborative journey on your next project.
