Discover Top Documentary DPs in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

I born in Barcelona in 1980, still in my childhood I started to reveal interest in the image. From an autodidactic way I improved it through the experimentation of analog photography. Between photographic shots I lost my camera and I continued to taking photographs by my imagination. During this time I started a short career as a volcanologist which permitted me to travel through South America, Macaronésic islands and Indonesia, picking up images in her note taking. Later, I decided to initiate in the audiovisual world to enrich and record my own visual exposure of the reality, because, for me, the camera represents a transitional object between my being and my environment. For me picture remains the moment, while cinematography expands our field of perception, broadening the attention of our senses and e and enriching the reality of our sensations. So in 2010 I decided to overturn professionally and I enter to the audiovisual world. In 2012 created with musical producer Paolo Piras, the aZAs collective.Currently working with documentaries, conducting projects where social themes are developed from an experimental standpoint.

Graduated in Journalism and Photojournalism by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. I have also completed a postgraduate degree in Video-journalism (Universitat Pompeu Fabra). Moreover, I completed my training in photography at the Institute of Photographic Studies of Catalonia (speciality in conflict photography). During the last seven years, I have been working in Contrast Journalist Group (www.contrast.es) as director, producer and cameraman on several documentaries around the world. The films were focused on social issues such as refugees (Dadaab, Kenya), nonviolence (Basque Country) or conflict resolution and peace (Rwanda, Guatemala, Bosnia and Lebanon). Meanwhile, as a freelance I covered (text and picture) the independence process of Kosovo and the 2009 Iranian elections, among other events. I speak fluently Spanish, Catalan, English and Italian and I have become skillful at Photoshop and Final Cut, among other audiovisual software.

Tenho 31 anos, nasci e vivo no Rio de Janeiro/Brasil, mas minha alma é do mundo. Sou formada em Psicologia mas em 2010 deixei meu trabalho para investir em uma nova carreira: a fotografia e o audiovisual, mais concretamente o documentário. Minha paixão sempre foi o ser humano comum e suas histórias, mas na psicologia há uma demanda urgente por respostas e eu sempre tive mais perguntas, curiosidade, questionamentos. Certamente a psicologia me ajuda muito na nova carreira, pois acredito que a escuta e a sensibilidade são fundamentais para fazer documentário. Tenho muito cuidado ético e respeito com as histórias que eu conto, pois estamos lidando com memórias, vidas. Gosto de abordar tanto histórias biográficas, onde pode haver um processo mais longo e elaborado de pesquisa e estética, quanto de histórias mais jornalísticas, de fatos políticos e sociais que acontecem no nosso dinâmico mundo contemporâneo.

Journalist by training and observer by vocation, I attempt to take an objective view of the events that occur around me and analyse the stories that emerge from my mind and imagination. Anyone can write nowadays, but there are few who through their pen and their motivation manage to convey to the reader their most sincere and personal view of the events occurring anywhere in the world. Good information is not only achieved through the literal representation of what happens, but through a thorough analysis of the context and history. Correspondent journalist in Brazil since 2013, I work as a freelance for some media such as Cadena Tres (Mexico), Excelsior TV (Mexico), The Guardian (UK), El País (Spain), La Vanguardia (Spain), doing the following functions: • Drafting the information • Speech news • Realization of direct speech from different points of the cities • Content production • Video editing (Adobe Premiere) • Video filming (7D)

Soy antropóloga lingüista pero hace mucho tiempo descubrí que lo que más me gusta en este mundo es contar historias, así que me convertí en directora de cine documental. Creo que ambas profesiones se complementan entre sí y me ayudan a tener una visión más amplia de lo que quiero decir. El documental es la manera que tengo de entender el mundo, la forma de comunicarme con los demás y de expresarme. Estoy convencida de que a través de las películas documentales es posible abrir ventanas a mundos diferentes, maravillosos y cotidianos a la vez. Hay muchas historias que merecen ser contadas y no hace falta ir demasiado lejos. Creo en las pequeñas historias, las que pasan desapercibidad, las intimistas, las que ayudan a crear identidad, las cercanas, las de aquellos que no tienen oportunidad de alzar la voz. También apuesto por las historias que exaltan la libertad, las ganas de vivir y las que se convierten en un canto a la esperanza de un futuro más justo.
