My undergraduate thesis project was a documentary that is uploaded on my YouTube channel. For many years I did a lot with a small equipment . I think the important thing is the image and the story, not the fancy equipment.But, now I have my own good equipment. I care a lot about image and story, I feel confortable interviewing people . A year ago I started operating drones. I have been involved in more than a hundred of project. You can check my work in my webpage.

CoopDocs nace como una red de colaboración en la que se colectivizan los proyectos que cada uno trae consigo y colaborativamente se los viabilizan gracias a la experiencia, experticia y talentos específicos de sus integrantes, sin que la ubicación geográfica sea una limitante. Reconocemos al cooperativismo como el modo de gestión para la producción audiovisual comprometida con procesos sociales y comunitarios. Fomentamos un espacio de colaboración, a través del cual se puedan viabilizar muchos de nuestros proyectos individuales que han quedado estancados por falta de apoyos económicos, institucionales y sobre todo de tiempo y equipo humano. Mirando este elemento común, decidimos abrir un espacio en la periferia de la industria de la producción audiovisual comercial, gestionado directamente por los socios y socias y funcione como espacio de apoyo, colaboración, generación de recursos que permitan dignificar nuestro trabajo y apoye a la creación y difusión de materiales comunicacionales al servicio de organizaciones sociales, comunidades y causas sociales con las que nos identificamos. OBJETIVOS -Generar un espacio de crecimiento profesional y económico para los y las integrantes. (generación de ingresos que dignifiquen la labor profesional comprometida. -Apoyar comunicacionalmente a organizaciones sociales y comunidades para amplificar sus voces, luchas y procesos organizativos. -Aportar al fortalecimiento organizativo a partir de la formación y capacitación de los integrantes de organizaciones sociales y comunidades que se involucren en los procesos de producción comunicacional. -Aportar en la producción audiovisual, proyectos personales de los y las integrantes de la cooperativa, asi como tambien de proyectos en marcha de organizaciones sociales, ongs o procesos organizativos.

I am Ramiro Aguilar Villamarín (Quito, Ecuador – 1985), visual anthropologist, social communicator and journalist, specialized in video and photography. Since 2014 I have worked as a videographer, photographer and reporter for national media and Hispanic-American digital portals, summing up numerous published works. By 2020 I am about to complete my master’s degree in research in visual anthropology where I have developed debates and works (written, photographic and audiovisual) on photography, cinema, memory, history, cultures, indigenous peoples and Amazonia. In addition to these topics, in my work I have approached the struggle of workers, social movements, human rights and migrations. My work and approach to the field of image and audiovisual, both in form and content, is based on strict humanitarian ethical principles. I seek to make evident the value or re-value the cases or human groups that I portrait, opposing any victimizing or discriminatory treatment nor approach. As well, I position myself critically on the traditional representations of minorities, excluded or marginalized groups. I am currently available for assignments mainly in the documentary field.
