Ariel Schvartzman
This is the opening Scene from Wagner Moura's first feature film "Marighella". A very chanllenging handheld sequence shot on a moving train that represents a lot what my work can be like.

I am a Camera and Steadicam operator whose passion for storytelling through the lens has been honed since graduating from Film School in 2008. With a strong foundation in post-production, editing, cinematography and some directing experiences, I try to bring a unique perspective to my camera operator work, focusing on enriching the director's and director of photography's visions.

Since starting as a Steadicam operator in 2011, I've dedicated my craft to creating dynamic camera movements that enhance narrative depth and highlight the actors' performances, on handheld sequence shots, steadicam, drones, cranes or underwater, my main goal is to achieve the best cinematic interpretation for the shot.

A pivotal moment in my career was working as the "A" camera operator on Marighella, directed by Wagner Moura and DP: Adrián Teijido. The film's opening scene showcases a great example that weave together movement and emotion, effectively drawing the audience into the story.

I've had the pleasure, honor and responsibility to collaborate with esteemed cinematographers such as César Charlone, ASC, ABC; Adriano Goldman, ASC, BSC, ABC; Theo Van de Sande, ASC; Jonathan Sela, ASC; Adrian Teijido, ABC and many others,

With experience filming across diverse landscapes in countries like Jordan, Morocco, Thailand, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Kenya, Ethiopia, the Dominican Republic and specially in Brazil, I've learned to cooperate with various crews worldwide, adapting to different cultures and workflows.

Born in Brazil, from an Argentinian family and holding Italian citizenship, Iam fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

With a collaborative spirit, I like to approach each project with a commitment to elevating the narrative through thoughtful camera work.

Available for creative opportunities worldwide.
