About me

Helena Gonzalez is a Cinematographer from Barcelona, based in London, and recently graduated from MA Cinematography at the NFTS (National Film and Television School). From an early age, she showed a special interest in writing stories and in the world of art and photography. Alongside her parents, both painters and art teachers, Helena traveled to many places in Europe. Always with a video camera in hand, these were her first experiences of capturing the world around her.

Helena devotes herself to the director's idea from beginning to end. She believes that a cinematographer needs to be fully engaged with the project in every way possible. She wants to understand not only how the director sees the story, but also how every other department sees it too.

Helena learns from what she sees and what she experiences: from the light as it enters her home in a family moment, to a café when she is meeting friends. She observes changes in the world around her and captures it with her camera, just in case she might need it for her next project.
