THEY SAY ABOUT IT
An asset. Kept the energy. Funny to work with. Nothing phases his creativity.
AN ASSET
“Recently we did a tough shoot in Lisbon where we had no time…
Some of the shots required some versatility in terms of what and where we were shooting – outside at night or inside of a tight car, etc. Each required skill, ingenuity and efficiency. Fernando was right in there making it happen! Total team player and he offers suggestions appropriately. Meaning we don’t always have time to get the best possible shot…it’s about doing what is needed for the Director and project to move forward. Fernando was an asset and would love to work with him again!”

KEPT THE ENERGY
“It was a pleasure working with you. You are very professional, and more than that a better human being. You kept the energy and the frames right. Thank you and we should really work soon. Whenever I shoot Bollywood, music video I call you to India. Take care mr. F”

FUNNY TO WORK WITH
“Thanks Fernando. You have been really kind, nice, hospitable and funny to work with. We felt like we know you from before. Hoping to see you soon in Mumbai. Good luck to you for other projects too.”

HIS DESIRE TO MAKE THE BEST SHOTS
“It was a real pleasure to have worked with Fernando on a number of shootings. He’s one of the most proactive, engaged and creative DoPs I have worked with. Nothing phases his creativity or his desire to make the best shots, the most original way to tell the story and his unique and knowledgable use of light to create amazing moods and atmosphere. Not only is Fernando one of the greats but he’s also always a pleasure to work with.”

Director of Photography or Cinematographer, [DP or DOP]
Director of photography or Cinematographer, [DP or DOP] is the chief over the camera crews working on a film, television production or other live action piece and is responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image.
Some filmmakers say that the Cinematographer is just the chief over the camera and lighting, and the Director of Photography is the chief over all the photography components of film, including framing, costumes, makeup, and lighting, as well as the assistant of the post producer for color correction and grading.
Be Creative
Creativity is to discover a question that has never been asked.
attention to detail
After reading the screenplay, Directors of Photography meet with the Director to discuss the visual style of the film. They conduct research and preparation including carrying out technical aspects of locations.
experience
They must be flexible in order to adapt ideas instantly, and to be able to take decisions quickly. Knowledge of photography, painting and, particularly of the moving image, is essential.
technical knowledge
A combination of practical, technical and creative expertise is required, as well as considerable industry experience, in order to achieve the best results while also saving time and money.
