As a highly-motivated journalist and videomaker, I have been reporting on international news, development, human rights and environment in Latin America and Italy since 2012. My bylines include digital outlets and news agencies such as: AlJazeera.com, El País, Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, Vice, Narratively and Ruptly. As far as Italy is regarded, my work has been featured on prominent media such as Repubblica TV, L'Espresso, Internazionale and Linkiesta. These experiences have enabled me to take care of the whole video production process, so I am used to script, shoot and edit my packages and documentaries independently. Since 2014 I have been focusing on online videos and interactive journalistic formats, and for this work I was awarded an Innovation in Development reporting grant and a King of Spain Honorable mention. In addition to Italian, I have professional proficiency in Spanish and English. I am currently based in Rome, where I hold a position as video producer at the Italian Parliament. However, I like to consider myself always open to new exciting and innovative projects, should they arise. I believe that good journalism has to be found on the streets, talking face to face with people and looking for the other side of a story. This is what I believe I can produce for Storyhunter.

I have directed and produced various videos for the internet and big screens. During the first 5 years of my experience I dedicated myself to recording music videos. Then I dedicated myself more to the production of political and web content. I did a master's degree from 2018 to 2020 in NY. Now I also work with Touche Films, a major production company in the country.

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.

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.
