About Me

Cinematographer | Director of Photography and camera operator based in the San Francisco Bay Area with over 15 years of experience with national and global projects working with companies like Netflix, Youtube, Pandora, Cisco, HP, and Apple. Text/Call me at 650-271-1235 to discuss your next project. Rafael was born and raised in Cuba with a passion for Cinematography and for creating beautiful images that reflect his culture.

I believe that the partnership of creative minds can achieve great things. My job is to bring your vision to life. As a freelance cinematographer, this means immersing myself quickly in a project and working closely with you to bring that project to life.

To tell a story, every detail matters. Beauty, passion, and life reside in these details. Capturing the sleek design of new technology, the gentle sway of a dancer's hips, the way a smile dances on a child’s face- this is what drives me. Capturing movement. Capturing beauty. Harnessing images that inspire.

I have been in the industry since 2007.
