Every film possesses its own unique identity — a specific visual grammar that must be discovered and protected. As a cinematographer, Ariel collaborates deeply with directors to bring this language to life and maintain its consistency throughout the story.

Based in London and originally from Porto Alegre, Ariel is a member of the Brazilian Society of Cinematographers (ABC) and a citizen of the United Kingdom, Brazil, and Italy. He brings a multicultural insight and an intuitive eye to the storytelling process, with an approach built on 27 features and over 100 narrative productions shot around the globe.

Recognised with international awards, Ariel served as the Director of Photography on the feature film Trouble Will Find Us (Busan International Film Festival, Best UK Feature at MANIFF), the Netflix release Beyond the Divide, and all 10 episodes of the series The Sunshine Murders for Channel 5 and Paramount+. He has lensed notable talent including Natasha O’Keeffe, Laura Haddock, Dylan Edwards, and Ben Aldridge on projects like the feature drama Tyger.

Dedicated to narrative projects, Ariel balances aesthetic ambition with production reality, supporting the project’s vision as a whole.
