CINEMATOGRAPHER
ABOUT
Hi, I'm Thaïs, a director of photography from Brazil based in Los Angeles, CA.
I started in film as a Storyboard Artist, but when I moved into the camera department I never looked back. I went from camera loading and ACing in Brazilian productions to what I'm passionate about: camera operating and directing the photography of narratives and documentaries.
I attended the Cinematography program at the AFI Conservatory, receiving my MFA in 2016.
Although I have been continuously working as a cinematographer I have also joined companies in the industry, such as Leica Camera, Zeiss Cine Lenses and the motion picture division of Kodak (Eastman Kodak Company).
I feel fortunate to work in a field where art is created as the result of a collaboration. A joined experience that leads to stories being told, emotions evoked and ideas conveyed.
