Hello, I am an award-winning doc filmmaker, cinematographer and drone pilot working. A native English speaker, I am also fluent in Mandarin and French. My work has appeared in Politico, Business Insider, the Mail and Guardian, NPR and the Texas Tribune, among others. As a filmmaker, I’m particularly interested in an immersive documentary process. I combine a journalistic interest in reporting and storytelling with a filmmaker's ability to deliver exceptional visuals. I love diving into a story and finding the visual components, narrative moments and soundbites that tell that story. As an experienced video editor I am also particularly good at thinking and shooting for the edit. I've worked in a range of contexts, from the Texas Legislature to disaster recovery to protests in South Africa, and am equally comfortable running an interview or documenting evolving events. I am also an FAA licensed drone pilot with several years of piloting experience. Here's a list of the equipment I use: Cameras: - DJI Mavic 2 Pro - Sony A7sII - GoPro HERO7 Lenses: - Sony FE 24-105mm f4 G - Sony 35mm 1.8 Sound: - Azden SMX-30 shotgun mic - Zoom F1 lav and Zoom H5 Other: Lights and stabilization REEL: vimeo.com/user79103867/

Raul Ariano is an award-winning Italian photographer based in Shanghai (China), specializing in portraits. He has always been captivated by the expressiveness of human faces and bodies, which can tell stories with no need for words or sounds. An observer of the margins, through his portraits, he has been telling the forgotten tales of those who are often invisible. Since 2014, he has opened a window for the world to peek into the lives of LGBTQ communities in China. Shocked by the first pandemic outbreak in the city of Wuhan, he directed his interest in outcasts into photographing the artificial and yet very real loneliness forced by the world’s first lockdown. Thanks to this project, entitled The Spring Has Yet to Come, Raul was selected to participate in the prestigious 2020 Eddie Adams Workshop, where he won the National Geographic Award. ,
