Vladimir Lipatov was born in the USSR. He originally studied a field unrelated to filmmaking, but later trained professionally as a cameraman. He began his career working on various TV channels, shooting news reports. Eventually, he found his way into documentaries and became part of the RT Documentary team. Vladimir has filmed on several continents — from Latin America to Africa. He hasn’t made it to Antarctica yet, but it’s still on the horizon!«Filming documentaries is exciting no matter where you are in the world — but it’s always a little more interesting at home.»
