Bio: Director Of Photography Valentina Caniglia, Director Of Photography, has transcended to the highest levels of modern cinema in the craft of cinematography. She is renowned for her distinctive and poised style, nimble and ingenuitive approach and creative dexterity when it comes to execution of her inimitable vision, as she shapes and expresses light, composition and movement. " I am adept at filming each project with a versatile, visual style that best translates each story's unique concept, into breathtaking moving images that unravel the characters' state of mind throughout the progression of the storytelling. Cinematography represents a concept of beauty that stands beyond the aesthetic aspects, something more intense that supports, follows and enhances the story where the camera can capture and show through the eyes and heart of the human's sensitivity behind it, the transparency and the awareness of visuals drawn by the emotions. As a Director of Photography, I always search and find that story to observe and create how I can manifest feelings." Valentina's love of the craft crosses mediums and continents.
