Studio Lab Presents:
Learn Cinematography From the Best
April 24, 2026
Live, in-person masterclass taught by Nik Pilecki, DP for Top Brands
Nik Pilecki is a cinematographer whose work you’ve almost certainly seen — even if you didn’t know it was his. He’s crafted media for brands like Home Depot, McDonald’s, KIA, Nissan, Stella Artois, Corona Canada, TD, FedEx, IBM, Fairlife, and many more, bringing high-end visual storytelling to campaigns across North America.
In this masterclass, Nik isn’t just going to show pretty frames. He’ll walk you through how he thinks: how he breaks down a commercial brief, collaborates with directors and gaffers, solves problems under pressure, and keeps clients coming back. Nik is obsessed with getting great images on time, on budget, with the crew and tools you actually have. To him, cinematography is a team sport, and every frame matters when it comes to telling the client’s story.
If you want hard-won lessons on real-world commercial cinematography from a DP who built a career from scratch — Nik is exactly the person you want to learn from.
