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.

Well, I started making some experimental videos, when I was 16 years old. In that time, a couple of friends and myself were crazy about filming a movie, so we managed to gather every single weekend in order to shoot the scenes. One year later, we finally ended it. And even though it was a terrible movie, we loved it. So, after finishing my high school, I went to the University to study journalism and business administration. (In those times, it was very expensive to study Films in Ecuador) I have worked in different areas related to journalism and social studies: local newspapers and public relations. At the age of 26 I finally managed to study cinematography in other local film academy.I have studied cinematography and sound for movies. I'm good for edition, cinematography and sound edition and recording. I work as teacher in one private local film academy.
