I was born in Andorra when the spring of 1978 was coming to an end.
I grew up in Barcelona and I graduated from the ESCAC film school in the year 2000. That same year I spent a semester at Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore, did my bit of traveling around South East Asia and winded up shooting my graduation film in Thailand. As far back as I can remember I always wanted to make films. At first, I didn’t know how but at film school I discovered the role of the cinematographer and never looked back. Ever since, I’ve been shooting around the world; whether it’s been features, commercials or documentaries. Storytelling is my passion and doing it with a bunch of talented people and a camera is my craft. To help directors to achieve their vision and working with gifted actors is one of the greatest joys I have in life. That passion has only increased over the years and I’m always looking for the next story to be told.
