About

Roberto Correa - A.M.C. Cinematographer

APPROACH
As a Director of Photography I want to offer another option in the visual field. My purpose is to investigate and develop visual concepts that are more Art oriented, more expressive, Hip and less conventional. My commitment with the Director and the Story telling is to have the common interest of discovering different ways to capture visual messages with a unique quality and flavor, yet effective.

As an Experienced professional I can convey images with a natural command of Color Lighting, shadows, angles, camera movements, all this with strong technical and communications skills.

EDUCATION
I was born and raised in Mexico City…shooting 8 and Super8 mm formats since I was 16 years old. I received a solid training from the Art Academy de San Carlos which belongs to The School of Fine Arts, Design and Graphic Communications Faculty (1983-1985) of The Universidad Nacional Autónoma of México. At the same time I joined the team of Art and Design Department of the Film Feature: Memoriales perdidos (1985) written and directed by Jaime Casillas, winning the Award ARIEL for Production Design given by The Mexican Academy of the Cinematographic Arts and Sciences.

I have been certified by Arriflex and Panavision in Film Production, including several extension courses and Lighting seminars. Above all I have REAL field experience in numerous Shorts and Film Features as still photographer, gaffer, focus puller and electrician.

WORK ACHIEVEMENTS
From 1993 to 2007 I maintained a strong and productive career as a focus puller and camera operator under the wing of the recognized Cinematographer and Director Gary Graver, Orson Welles's last Cinematographer.
