About ME
WHO AM I?
I’m Carlos Sanz, a Madrid-based Director of Photography focused on commercials, branded content, and music videos. I also work as a camera assistant/focus puller. My goal is to be the DP you can trust for ambitious campaigns: fast, reliable, and obsessed with turning ideas into results.
Skills and Expertise
WHAT CAN I DO?
CINEMATOGRAPHY
I align story, performance, and brand goals into shootable plans with clear priorities, smart contingencies, and coverage that serves edit and rollout. I lead pre-production to lock logistics, protect the schedule on set, and keep talent/time efficient. The result: consistent assets across platforms without reshoots and a faster path to approval.
COLOR GRADING & Post-Production
In post-production, I bring footage to life by combining expert editing, color grading, and sound design. I pay attention to every detail, from pacing to transitions, ensuring that each cut contributes to a seamless story. My aim is to enhance the narrative and leave a lasting impression through a polished, cohesive final product.
Creative Direction
From initial concept through final delivery, I guide clients in realizing their vision. I work closely with them to develop the right style, locations, and storyboards to align with their goals. Every project receives my full attention, helping each piece stand out and communicate its intended message effectively.
