I’m João Magalhães, a camera operator and post-production professional based in Porto, working across camera work, colour grading, and production support. I’m especially drawn to filming people up close, creating a comfortable, collaborative on-set experience while shaping the final look and feel in post. During my degree in Digital Arts and Multimedia, I made three short films—documentary, fiction, and an Unreal Engine-directed project—and through my projects I built strong skills in editing, lighting, virtual camera work, and colour. I’m now looking for my first role in videography and advertising, and I’m happy to join productions in any on-set position where I can contribute.
