I am a director with a robust educational foundation. In 2012, I earned my documentary production degree from the esteemed ESEC institution in Paris, France. Complementing this, I invested three years in communications studies, fostering a comprehensive understanding of corporate dynamics and strategies. My professional identity is anchored in creative prowess. Technically, I specialize in proficient shooting, excelling in small configurations like DSLR setups while maintaining adaptability in traditional production settings. Throughout my career, I have curated a diverse portfolio spanning corporate films, digital videos, documentaries of varying lengths (26 minutes and 13 minutes), interviews, event coverage, and product showcases. Additionally, my role as a Director of Photography (DOP) has been instrumental in various projects. Originally from Morocco and presently based in Sao Paulo, my global perspective fuels my creativity. Always open to travel for exciting opportunities, my unique amalgamation of education and experience positions me to approach filmmaking with a profound understanding of both artistic and business facets, rendering me an invaluable asset to any project.

I'm a Brazilian filmmaker based in São Paulo After finishing my bachelor's degree in Journalism back in 2010, it was clear that my way to tell stories would be through images. Since then, I've been honing my skills with courses and lots of work. I have shot commercials, tv doc series, documentaries, shorts, and feature films as a Director of Photography. I have recently finished the ‘Viewfinder' Erasmus Mundus master’s degree in Cinematography, a 2-year program provided by three renowned European universities:  the University of Theatre and Film Arts, Budapest, Hungary (SZFE), the National Film School in Dublin, Ireland (IADT) and the Baltic Film School of Tallinn, during which I have produced, shot and/or directed over 12 short Master Student projects.  I am currently looking for opportunities in international productions in both South America and Europe as director of photography, camera operator, and camera assistant according to the size and needs of the production.
