I'm Gil. Nice to meet you.

My dad used to take me to late cinema screenings in Porto. We’d drive home at 4 a.m., the streets empty, me half-asleep with the taste of sweet popcorn still in my mouth. I didn’t know it yet, but that’s where I fell in love with cinema — with light in the dark, with atmosphere, with images that linger after the screen goes black.

Today I work as a cinematographer across music videos, fashion editorials, narrative films, and commercial projects. I’m drawn to the full process: prep, visual development, and the intensity of set life, where lighting, camera, and performance have to align — or be rethought in real time. I’m strongest in those moments, shaping images under pressure, solving visual problems quickly, and elevating the frame beyond the initial plan.

I’m loyal to my team. That’s non-negotiable. I believe strong images come from trust, clear communication, and crews that feel supported while being pushed to do their best work.

I’m looking for projects that are demanding — bigger, longer, more complex. Work that requires commitment, precision, and ambition. If you’re aiming for something cinematic and uncompromising, let’s make it happen.
