Director of Photography | Filmmaker | Editor | Multicamera & Documentary Production
I’m a Lisbon/Cascais-based filmmaker, director of photography, photographer and editor working across documentary, live music, multicamera events, artist portraits and commercial video. My work is built around people, atmosphere and story. Whether I’m filming an intimate music session, a live concert, a documentary interview, a fado house, a founder, or a family event, I’m interested in the emotional truth behind the image — the tension, vulnerability, discipline, memory and humanity that make a scene feel alive. I work as a solo operator or with small crews, and I’m comfortable handling the full production chain: concept development, directing, cinematography, lighting, multicamera recording, audio capture, editing, colour grading and final delivery. My kit includes multiple full-frame Panasonic Lumix cameras, professional lenses, lighting, audio recording, wireless systems, gimbals, sliders and live-production tools. Recent work includes live music recordings, concert coverage, documentary-style promotional films, artist sessions, interviews and cultural projects. I’m especially drawn to music, performance, Portuguese cultural identity, intimate documentary storytelling and cinematic portraiture. I’m available for collaborations as a director of photography, camera operator, filmmaker, editor, photographer, or small-scale production partner in Portugal and internationally.
