Years later, his international profile grew through camera operating on the U.S. television series Counterpart (2017), and major Hollywood films including Shang‑Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) and Wicked (2024). At the 69th British Society of Cinematographers (BSC) Awards held February 1, 2025, he jointly received the Operators Award—together with Simon Finney—for their camera operating on the feature film Wicked. The BSC presents this award in collaboration with the Association of Camera Operators (ACO) and the Guild of British Camera Technicians (GBCT). One of the most celebrated live-event shots in his career took place at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009, where he captured Belarus’s performance using a Steadicam on a Segway before transitioning to running with the rig—demonstrating remarkable mobility and precision under live conditions.
