ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Manuela, a Brazilian Cinematographer based in Lisbon. I am a film student at Universidade Lusófona, where I discovered my passion for working as a 1st Assistant Camera. Since then, I have been fully dedicated to developing myself in this role and building strong on-set experience.
I also enjoy working as a Camera Operator and have a strong interest in photography, composition, and capturing meaningful moments. I’m passionate about translating ideas into images and shaping visual storytelling through framing and perspective.
At the moment, I am focused on gaining more experience on set, growing within camera departments, and expanding my work in photography.
