"I always try to bring a very passionate and positive vision to every project I am involved with. I could bring a tremendous technical knowledge to the table, but I believe my work as a cinematographer is collaborating with the director to try to find the pictures that describe the story from an emotional point of view. Story is very important to me, and I need to have a connection with it."
"I developed a love for painting; I discovered the masterly treatment of light by Vermeer, the use of color and perspectives of De Hooch, the Chiaroscuro of Caravaggio or Monet and the Impressionist style. I discovered the importance of an image, and all the things I could say with the use of light and composition and decided then that I wanted to be a cinematographer."
