My name is Łukasz Krzysztof Augustyniak
— a Polish-born, Edinburgh-based director, visual artist,
and founder of the CINEMACHEF universe.
With a background in film, photography and performance, I move between worlds
— blending cinematic precision with emotional rawness,
crafting bold visuals that feel intimate, poetic, and alive.
For over 20 years, I’ve created content that spans disciplines:
music videos, documentary shorts, branded stories,
experimental reels, portraits, and fire performances.
Whether shooting solo or leading a crew, I bring a clear eye,
a sharp aesthetic, and a deep intuition for rhythm, movement and meaning.
My work is driven by presence —
by what happens when light, emotion and narrative meet.
WHAT I DO
I collaborate with:
artists looking for high-impact reels & portraits,
institutions needing bold documentation of events and experiences,
brands who want to stand out with visual storytelling that moves, not just sells

I direct, shoot and edit projects from start to finish
— or step in as a creative lead, guiding teams through concept to delivery.
I’m fluent in multicam, fast-turnaround production,
and highly stylised solo work.
Let’s co-create something unforgettable —
whether you need a cinematic portrait, a teaser that feels like a poem,
or a full visual campaign that cuts through the noise.
