I have a wide range of experience shooting as a Cinematographer, from Drama, TVC/promos, documentaries and also as a commercial fashion photographer. This is in addition to the 3D productions that I have begun to work on this year.My film career began when I was quite young, taking inspiration from my families business, a local video shop in Chile, South America. In 1994 at the age of 18, I started working professionally in the camera department, on a four year documentary “Pacifica and Oceania” for Juniper Films, with world-renowned doco Cinematographer Michael Dillon ACS. As I began to work my way up the camera department hierarchy, from assistant to 1AC / Focus, I had some great material to cut my teeth on, from drama and tele series, to music videos and commercials. My credits during this period of my career include; “Farscape”, series 1,2,3,4, “Nothing Men”, “Gabriel”, “Matrix”, “Bride of Chucky”, “Fools Gold”, “Cane toads 3D”, and many more.

In 2005 my passion for photography took me to the water and I began to support such masters as Roger Buckingham ACS and former Jacques Cousteau prodigy Robbie Hunter ACS as an Underwater Camera Assistant. This experience afforded me the opportunity to then become an Underwater Camera Operator and also Drama B Camera Operating, where I was able to study under renowned Cinematographers; Alexander Witt ASC, Peter Holland, Warwick Thornton ACS, Dave Foreman ACS, Danny Batterham ACS, James Cowley NZSC and many more.

These experiences fed my desire to become a Cinematographer and I began photographing projects in 2007. Projects ranged from music videos to short dramas, a series pilot for Rubicon films “Half life”, underwater Channel V promos, as well as assignments from such clients as Foxtel and Event Cinemas. In order to further master my craft, I attended and graduated from the prestigious Cinematography program at the Australian Film Television & Radio School (AFTRS) in 2010. During the one year extensive program, lead by Kim Batterham ACS and Erika Addis ACS, I achieved a Graduate Diploma in Cinematography. Mentors included Roger Lanser ACS, Steve Arnold ACS, Peter James ACS ASC, Don McApline ACS ASC, and many others.

One of the great experiences I have had in the camera department is the opportunity to travel, working in many countries from Canada to Tahiti. I was the first Camera Assistant to work on the RED ONE, which now has become an industry standard and one of the first two assistants to work on a 3D project in Australia. Cinematography and travel are two great passions of mine that I hope to continue combining.

I am committed to and have a deep passion for story telling, no matter what type of project, large or small.
