Luis de Maia

He did it all.

He was a postman, eclectic DJ, geriatric nurse.
Worked as a welder in a stunt team, as a bouncer in the best club in town and as a graphic designer in a small advertising agency in Lisbon.
Luis is clearly a child of the late 80s and 90s Clubculture.
Soulboy, mod, breakdancer.
Always underground, sometimes avant-garde and always kind of punk.
But one thing above all, he is always a designer in everything he does.

Art, music and photography have been his companions from the beginning and since he has been behind the camera, Luis has shot documentaries in crisis and war zones, as well as feature films, music videos and even wildlife films in the rainforests of South America, among many other things.

Luis has been working very successfully as a dop and director for several years now, exclusively in the advertising industry.
So maybe you can just call him the most experienced youngster you can get.


But most importantly, he's a charismatic, multitasking, and empathetic dop.
On set he is quick, polite and always charming with a vast experience and strong technical know-how.
No matter where, or for which format, we like his creative diversity and his constant search for the perfect picture, with which he supports every project in a creative and unique way.

Working with Luis is simply a pleasure.

As the child of political refugees from two different countries and traveling since ever, he feels at home anywhere in the world.
In his free time, he commutes between Portugal and Germany, together with his wonderful wife, the great son and now two fluffy cats.

Luis speaks German, English and Portuguese.
