About

I’m Felipe Contreras Soto, a Director of Photography and Camera Operator from Chile. I studied Cinema & TV with a specialization in Direction of Photography at ARCIS University from 1996 to 2000, and earned a Master of Cinematography at ESCAC in 2007.

From 2000 to 2009 I developed my career in the camera department as a focus puller on feature films and commercials in Chile, working with renowned DPs such as Kaminski, Prieto, Luvesky, Spinotti, and others. In 2009 I moved to Barcelona to pursue a DP career, starting as a Focus Puller and DP on music videos and alternative projects to make a name in Europe. Since 2010 I have also shot as ENG camera while continuing as a DP and Camera Operator, collaborating with many production companies including Icon International, Sauvage.tv, Canada, El Apartamento.tv, Trzz.tv, Badhorse.co, and others up to 2025.
