Darling Films announce the signing of the incredible London-based director and photographer, Aleksandra Kingo.
Known for transforming the mundane into the surreal and the awkward into the iconic, Kingo’s work blends bold colour, sharp wit, dark comedy, and highly stylised set design. Her distinctive visual language creates playful, illusory worlds that feel both elevated and deeply relatable.
“We’re so excited to sign Aleks Kingo after years of friendship and admiration for her work,” says Kat Downs, MD / New Business EP at Darling Films. “She’s built an accomplished career across commercial, narrative, and stills, and brings bold, electric, and unforgettable work to the Darling roster.”
Kingo has built a career crafting visually striking campaigns for major brands and publications. Her clients include Pepsi, Adidas, L’Oréal (with Drew Barrymore), American Express, Target, and Virgin Atlantic, all drawn to her ability to blend high-impact visuals with playful storytelling and a touch of the unexpected.
Her work is a celebration of life’s weird little moments, the good, the bad, and the wonderfully awkward. With her work, she invites you into a world, where the everyday gets a surreal twist, and nothing is taken too seriously, except for immaculate set design.
Kingo says: “Darling immediately felt like home. We connected from day one when I worked with them as a freelancer, and that feeling has only grown. They’re women-run, boutique enough to care deeply, and established enough to truly move the needle in my career. Joining them feels incredibly right and I’m excited about what’s to come.”
