Andi Popa
Camera operator, director of photography and drone pilot
30 years behind the camera: television, live events, esports and documentaries.
About
I’ve been behind a camera since 1995, when I bought my first one, a Panasonic M7 VHS, and I’ve worked in television since 1996. Today I’m a Senior Camera Operator and Drone Pilot at PRO TV, and the owner of Movie Travel Media, the independent production company I’ve run since 2007.
I’ve worked with PRO TV, Digi24, Antena 1, Antena 3, TVR and Euronews, and I’ve flown drones for television since 2011. I studied Film and Television Image at Hyperion University of Bucharest.
