UMBERTO AGUIAR

"Umberto Aguiar is an excellent cameraman who consistently produces touching, well-told visual stories. I observed that he was a self-starter who required minimal supervision.  In my two years of working alongside him at our London office, i found him to be congenial and well-liked by his peers."

Luis Ramirez, awards-winning  reporter, Voice of America, Washington DC.

I am a all-rounder TV cameraman and editor based in London, UK.

 I have shot and/or edited news, current affairs, documentaries and corporate videos.  I worked for CNN, CNBC Europe, Associated Press, USAGM, France 2 (French state TV), NRK (Norwegian state TV), TVs from France, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Middle East countries.

The very first camera I worked with was a 11 kg Betacam BVP 5 and the  last camera I worked with was an iPhone 8 plus (260 grams with body armour). In other words, I am a cameraman first, last and always.
