Since her childhood, Carmen has been attached to the picture – still and specially in motion. She fell in love with cinema and the range of possibilities the cinematic vocabulary offers to communicate emotions. Her aim is to always find an own formalistic ‘dialect’ for each project. For her, cinematography is a mix of framing, light, tempo and timing in motion or stillness in tight relation to the narrated story. After her diploma in graphic design and her master’s degree in Multi Media Art, she moved to Berlin to study cinematography at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB). Her movies were shown on several international festivals like Berlinale, South by Southwest, NewDirectors NewFilms. Over the last seventeen years, she has realised more than 70 projects behind the camera. She shot Fiction Films, documentaries, commercials, music videos and image corporate productions all around the globe.
