Kolawole Odeyemi

I don’t just edit videos — I craft visual experiences that move people and elevate brands.

I’m Yemi (aka yemishot), a professional cinematographer and video editor with 3+ years of experience creating emotionally engaging, high-impact visuals across music videos, documentaries, wedding films, and cinematic projects.

My strength lies in visual storytelling — understanding the heart of a story and translating it into frames that feel intentional, cinematic, and unforgettable.

I work primarily with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, delivering:

Clean, cinematic edits

Advanced color grading that sets the mood

Seamless subtitles for clarity and reach

Subtle yet captivating visual effects that enhance (not distract)

Clients work with me because I value clarity, collaboration, and excellence. I communicate clearly, respect timelines, and approach every project with the mindset of ownership — as if it were my own.

Based in Nigeria, available for freelance and remote projects worldwide.
