about paulo ares

my name is paulo ares i was born in 1969 in portugal/ lisbon.
i am a cinematographer since 1995 when finish my graduation on the film school of lisbon.

quite early i got the chance to work as dir. of photography in several short and documentary film projects.
since 1997 i started permanently extended my cinematographic work on tv commercials and features films, first in europe, soon i started to work worldwide with the most important advertising agencies and film production companies.

after more of 20 years of experience in cinematography i still keep adapt to all kinds of aesthetic languages and visuals, spread around the world from europe, south america, india, middle east, asia and africa.
still being motivated by the thrill of shooting and telling stories, create emotions trough the aesthetic of images, like federico fellini said :
“ talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. it’s a language made of image. and in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.”

Recently he is working more as dir/dop.

paulo lives in lisbon now. he speaks native portuguese, spanish, english and french.
