An emerging Dubai based DoP, Manuel Lamelas is known for bringing an artistic reality to projects with his natural approach to lighting and camera. This reinforces his belief that cinematography is strongest when it is beautifully subtle.
Manuel developed a strong passion for non-fiction story telling and in 2012 moved to Dubai to expand his career as a DoP / Director.
Collaboration is key and Manuel takes pride in a strong work ethic, creative clarity and inspiring a relaxed shooting environment.
