Im a Spain based Cinematographer and Visual Storyteller. Over the past years I have had the honor to work with clients such as HBO, Sony Pictures, BBC, Deutsche TV, The Washington Post, Tech Crunch, Stateless Media, Upworthy, Coca-Cola, NIVEA, Colgate, CineMAX, RedFuse bringing real stories to film. I also take a lot of pride in working on experimental projects that start from scratch, willing to show something original, dare and untold. This are my favourite ones. In any type of situation, whether it be a remote location with harsh conditions, to shoot or a high stress client project with a super tight turn around - I am always looking to create something cinematic, evocative, emotional and unique with my camera work and narrative. There is an incredible amount of content out there this days. Amazing real stories matched with poorly and unmotivated Imagery, There is also a fair amount of very beautiful pieces that are just completely lacking any content. As a Visual Storyteller and Cinematographer I am looking for that sweet-spot of marrying excellent storytelling with high end cinematic visuals that let the viewer dive even deeper into the story and connect in a way that wouldn't otherwise be possible. I personally believe this makes stories stand out. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy doing it and please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, want to collaborate or hire me for a project. All the Best! Emiliano
