Òscar D. Santana

My journey started very young when I first saw 2001 alongside my passionate father. At that moment, even though I wasn't able to rationalize what I was feeling, something hit me. I was amazed by the magic of the moving images and the storytelling.

Soon that idea became an obsession, the obsession of understanding how it could be possible to make people think and feel that much using images. At that point I was highly attracted by what I couldn't understand, the light. My fascination was just the tip of the iceberg for what would end up being my passion.

During these years I have been able to work on long-standing projects with national and international DP’s I do admire. I try to keep myself looking for better and smarter ways to tell stories through lighting, surrounded by great professionals, with the respect and admiration that our profession deserves.
