Born and raised on the Chilean coast, I moved to Argentina to study Image and Sound Design at the University of Buenos Aires and later continued my training at Master LAV in Madrid. My approach to cinematography is rooted in experimentation and shaped by close creative collaborations.
I have worked with directors from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Germany, contributing to the visual language of films such as A Natureza das Coisas Invisíveis by Rafaela Camelo (75th Berlinale), Las Demás (Rotterdam 2023), Lo que se hereda (True/False), and Ceniza Negra (Cannes).
Recent projects include Nubes Artificiales by Josefina Buschmann (16mm, Chile) and Madre Pájaro, Sofía Quirós’s second feature, recently shot in Costa Rica. Now based in Berlin, I am expanding my practice into light design for the performing arts.
