Jan Konikowski

A cinematographer working across commercials, music videos, and documentary films, also collaborating on narrative feature productions. His work focuses on building atmosphere and emotion through image — with a conscious approach to light, color, and narrative rhythm.

His visuals are defined by a strong sense of mood, naturalism, and attention to detail. He often works with organic light and restrained formal means, seeking visual honesty and authenticity rather than purely aesthetic, show-driven solutions. He treats cinematography as a storytelling tool, not a dominant spectacle.

He was the director of photography for the award-winning film Jungle Business, shot in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, which received the award for Best Cinematography at the Barcelona International Film Festival. In 2020, the music video Bolesne Strzały w Serce, shot by Jan, won the main prize in the Best Rock & Sharp Sound category at the Polish Music Video Awards.

Jan has collaborated with brands across fashion, sports, and commercial sectors. His clients include Kross, Adidas, Onet, Reebok, Puma, Eobuwie, Reserved, Medicine, Kazar, Baltica, Mano, Żabka, Shroom, WW, and PKO Bank.
He works internationally and regularly shoots as a 2nd unit on service productions.
