Born in Brazil to a Swiss father and a Brazilian mother, I grew up in the Italian part of Switzerland. I studied political sciences and I am self made reporter. One year after a trip to West Africa in which I documented a tribe that practices Scarification, El País contacted me wanting to buy and publish my piece. Since then I have done numerous pieces for the Brazilian media, Swiss television, and for El País. In collaboration with the media or Non-governmental organizations, I am interested in raising awareness about topics related to justice and social inequalities. However, as an inquisitive and disciplined professional I am mostly committed to my own long term projects which involve immersing myself in communities that challenge his own beliefs, paradigms and worldview. I enjoy researching, writing, taking pictures and filming. If I can, I avoid video editing. I speak fluent Italian, German, French, English, Portuguese, Spanish and I also speak some Rumanian.

As a photographer and video-maker I have covered, over the past 20 years, subjects ranging from development to identity issues and current affairs, through assignments for the international media, NGOs and various commercial organisations.

I have travelled and photographed intensively around the globe, telling stories through my photos and videos. In 2000 I moved to London, where I lived and worked for 8 years and studied photojournalism and documentary photography at the London College of Communication (former LCP).

Hi! My name is Yuri Schuler, I'm a Brazilian filmmaker and music producer, based in Rio de Janeiro. I have always been passionate about music, so after starting a couple of rock bands in my teen years, I began to work as an audio engineer and recordist for Multifoco Música, an small music label in Lapa, RJ. From 2009 to 2013 I had the oportunity to work with some high level artists of brazilian popular music, such as Sandra de Sá, Luiz Brasil, Wilson das Neves, Elton de Medeiros among others, both in live concerts and in studio. In 2013 I felt the need to expand what I could offer to artists and musicians, so I started a new label, Útero, that would not only focus in music recording, but also in creating a connection between music and video, and how one can help the other in a world full of distractions and new content to compete. Since then, I have been enrolled in several courses, workshops and masterclasses, as well as practicing in real life projects, honing my skills as a filmmaker and project manager. Today, Útero has become my principal occupation, and I have directed several projects of music videos, live sessions, concerts etc. We have an office that has video edit rooms, professional recording studio and music studio, and our team is a group comprised of filmmakers, music producers, photographers, graphic designers and audio engineers, all working under the same roof and purpose. . With this team of talented people and infrastructure, we started to not only produce content to the Útero youtube channel (with over 20000 subscribers) , but also to offer our skills as freelancers, to other channels and companies of several niches. We have worked with museums, shipyards, sports, food photography, art exhibitions, social projects an so on. So, this profile is a way to expand our offerings without the limitations of location ;) Feel free to contact if you think that we can help each other ;)
