Cristian Medel
Cinematographer
Profile
I am a Cinematographer & Light Artist. I have a Bachelor's degree in
audiovisual communication with a minor in film. I have specialized
in cinematography and these skills have allowed me to work on the
best film sets alongside professionals from the audiovisual industry in
Latin America and Europe. This is where I have been able to develop
my talents as a light artist by exchanging knowledge and using that
experience in favor of my personal and collaborative achievements
during these last 20 years.
