I want to work as an Director or DoP for animation and full-cg productions.

I'm a CG Generalist with a great interest in lighting and cinematography. I enjoy the process of staging stories, concepts, and content. I'm obsessed with lighting and I love to define the look and feel, the layout, the camera and lighting the most. Besides that, I also like to work with real cameras [motion and photography - sometimes analog] and real light. I love story driven visuals with moody atmosphere and an organic feeling, that's what I aim for.
