CARPE DYEM

DYEGO CORTINAS

I'm a Uruguayan Creative Content Producer based in Auckland, Aotearoa/New Zealand.

I have worked for more than 14 years in the media business, understanding the whole process of audiovisual content creation and quietly learning how to approach subjects, businesses and make a living. 

For the last 5 years, my main focus has been working in the lighting department of diverse film industry productions and television series in New Zealand (From Netflix to local content). Of course, I can't deny my past and got myself involved in smaller projects, either as a Dop, Camera operator or Gaffer.

Passionate about surf, paintball, and pretty much any extreme sport, you'll see me getting into deep constructive discussions that involve healthy habits, meditation and developing everything related to physicals, mental and environmental health.

Obsessed with lighting, water, saturated colors, and clouds. Observer of moments, and photographer of them. Main promoter of Uruguayan and Aotearoa/New Zealand tourism among friends.

I moved from Uruguay in search of new experiences, and in the hopes of understanding a bit more about the craft and specially about myself. So far it's been an unexpected journey, where I have not only met formidable professionals, but overall great human beings. And that's what I believe is the most important part of any production or project I get involved.
