I feel that my work is characterized by its raw, authentic feel and emotional resonance. At this point in my life and career, I'm seeking projects that push me to develop riskier and more innovative proposals and concepts. While I have an affinity for darkness, I consider myself versatile in my style. As a cinematographer, I enjoy bringing to life the diverse visions of each director, relying on my approach and technique. Additionally, I have a particular fondness for playing with formats, especially when shooting on film.

I always strive to capture intimate and human moments and feelings. I believe cinematography is more about capturing the essence of a project's soul than focusing solely on beauty or "well-composed" shots. Whether using a naturalistic or stylized approach, film or digital format, I am committed to embracing the challenge of capturing the emotional heart of a story.
