[About]
«I understand cinematography as an act of listening, collaboration, and inquiry into the creation of a mise en scène and the narrative point of view, taking responsibility for the camera while shaping light to deepen and sustain the story, creating a visual language and a world of its own.»

Trained in Cinematography at the Escola Superior de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya (ESCAC), where she completed a Postgraduate and a Master's degree in the field, and holding a degree in Audiovisual Communication from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), she has built her career with a focus on fiction and documentary, with works presented at national and international festivals.

Among her most notable projects is the feature-length documentary Sense Ficció: Gador i els Taurons, directed by Oriol Gispert for 3Cat. In fiction, standout works include Berta and Dana, both directed by Lucía Forner Segarra — the latter recognised with two Best Cinematography awards (WIFFEN Nigeria and the Cabra Audiovisual Contest), over 50 international awards, selected for the Oscar longlist, and a Goya candidate. Her work has been presented at festivals including Sitges, Seminci, and Fantasia (Canada). Further notable projects include Techo de cristal by Marta Soria (IFF New York) and the documentary Call Me Johnny Please, directed by Marta Diego (Mecal Barcelona).

As a director of photography, she has cultivated her visual approach through years of experience on set as a video operator on national and international productions, among them Rosebush Pruning (Karim Aïnouz, Efthimis Filippou), Forastera (Lucía Aleñar), The Penguin Lessons (Peter Cattaneo), La sociedad de la nieve (J.A. Bayona), Balandrau (Fernando Trullols), Marlowe (Neil Jordan), The English (Hugo Blick), Alma (Sergio G. Sánchez), Diecisiete (Daniel Sánchez Arévalo), and El día de mañana (Mariano Barroso).
