WILDLIFE CINEMATOGRAPHER
Jordi is a long lens natural history cinematographer with extensive experience working in remote and challenging environments.
He specializes in long-lens and animal behaviour as well as wildlife and human interactions. His camera work and skillset ranges from drone, time-lapse, macro and underwater photography to motion control tools like crane dollies and gimbals as well as set building and lighting.
His work and passion have given him the opportunity to travel across the globe, filming in extreme natural environments from the Arctic tundra in Greenland to the remote jungles of Borneo and the Americas, the grasslands of Central Asia to the coast of the West Indies, the Mediterranean to the Sahara and African savannah.
Jordi has been filming over 30 documentaries for broadcasters like BBC, National Geographic, Netflix, HBO among others; and has written, directed and produced two personal projects for TV and cinema.
Documenting the natural world and encourage people to protect it is his biggest motivation.
